JESS: Saving state of the engine

[Shi Quan He]

I am in a situation that I need to save the current state of the Rete engine (including the global context, facts, and activations) so that the state can be resumed at the later time and more facts to be asserted.  For efficiency reason, the rules and templates should be not saved so the restored state will use the same set of rules.  I know that the bsave/bload command only saves/restores the rules and templates but not the facts and activations.  That is exactly the opposite to what I want to achieve.  Is there an easy solution to this problem?   Thanks, Shi Quan
