The automated recovery of the warmth of cache of an application that has been subject to a running state change that degraded the warmth of the cache. To prepare for a loss in warmth, the state of a cache portion identifiers are captured. Such identifies the cache portions that are within the application cache at an instant in time. Thereafter, the application experiences a change in running state that diminishes the warmth of the application cache. For instance, the application might be stopped and restarted. After and despite this cache degradation, the application may continue to operate. However, in order to warm the application cache more quickly, while the application is operating, the application cache is automatically warmed. For instance, while the application is operating, cache portions identified by the captured cache portion identifiers are automatically accessed from a source that is external to the application cache.
