Abstract
Provided are method, apparatus and computer program product for managing persistence in a messaging network. A determination of whether to save data relating to a message-based communication to persistent storage at a message server is made with reference to characteristics of at least one messaging client involved in the message-based communication. The characteristics may include, for example, connection reliability information for the client's previous connections to the message server, such as numbers of disconnections within a defined period or average connection duration, for a messaging client to which at least one message is to be transmitted by the message server. The characteristics may represent a number of matching subscribers per publication. These and/or other example characteristics may be captured in a database at the message server and may be evaluated (for example by SQL queries applied to the database) to determine whether a persistent save operation is required or can be omitted.
