Eu era un dos 20 ou 30 (ou que 100?) painelistas onte á noite no New York SharePoint Grupo de Usuarios meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, iso era todo sobre Q&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Michael Lotter presentouse a unha nova idea e eu quería compartir.
An audience member described how his company had paid a consultant to write an application for his company. The consultant wrote it as a console application using the SharePoint object model. Como resultado, this meant that the program had to be run on a server in the farm. This meant that anyone that wanted to use the app would have to log onto the server, do the work and log off. A principio, este non foi un problema, mais pronto, cada vez máis (non técnico) users needed to use the utility. His question was (parafraseando):
"Cales son as miñas opcións? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, pero precisan desa función."
Michael Lotter suxeriu que configurar unha nova máquina virtual, join it to the farm as a WFE and let users run the application from there.
This is a pretty stunning idea for me. Generalizing this solution brings to mind the notion of essentially temporary, almost disposable WFE’s. I think it’s a pretty neat concept. This temporary WFE can run a console application that uses the SharePoint object model. You could also use it to run stsadm commands. It doesn’t have to be part of regular local balancing. If it goes down or gets wrecked, you can just spin up a new one. I repeat myself, pero eu só teño que dicir que eu penso que é unha idea realmente puro.
