Is IIS shutting down after a while?

Question

I want to host the WCF web service in IIS. A service must store a specific data set all the time; it must never be lost.

My colleague told me that this is not possible because IIS shuts down the service after a certain time (I assume that without any activity). It's true? How to prevent this behavior?

In case it matters, both IIS 6 and 7 are available.

Answer 1

By default, IIS processes the workflow after a period of inactivity (20 minutes, if I remember correctly). This will result in data loss.
