WF hosting and IIS process recycling

Question

Hi all,

I'm planning to use WF to control the execution of data processing tasks. These tasks can take from minutes to hours to complete, and they will be running continously not waiting for input.

From what I've read so far, using AppFabric and IIS / WAS to host these workflows is not a good option since IIS can decide to recycle the process, thus killing a running task.

Am I right?

So my only option is to host my WF in a Windows Service, right?

-Thanks!

Answer 1

What these data processing tasks are, can I ask?
