Data is passed from the management service to this service for storage

Persistence API

The execution service uses an observer to listens for events that inform it about changes to the archives. The service will then call the persistence service to update the pool as needed.

This is vertical sequence diagram that shows a simple order of execution for the service. It also demonstrates the fundamentals of it’s interactions with the pool in a multi-threaded environment.
