Description
The default setting for IIS is to shut down the web application if there has not been a connection to it in the last 20 minutes. This behavior prevents the Scheduled Updates from running their tasks and keeping the specified analysis files instantiated in memory. To avoid this, the "TIBCO Spotfire Web Player Keep Alive Service" is a windows service which will read the configuration file and ping the Spotfire Web Player to make sure that IIS is running during the periods configured in the schedules.
