Ја сам био један од 20 или 30 (или можда 100?) панелисти синоћ Њујорк Корисници СхареПоинт групе meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, ово је све о К&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Мајкл Лоттер увео ме у нове идеје и желео сам да поделим.
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. Као резултат тога, 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. Прво, ово није био проблем, али ускоро, више (не-техничке) users needed to use the utility. His question was (парафразирање):
"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, али им је потребно да функционалност."
Мајкл Лоттер предложио да конфигуришете нову виртуелну машину, 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, али морам да кажем да мислим да је стварно уредан идеја.
