Mimi nilikuwa mmoja wa 20 au 30 (au labda 100?) panelists jana usiku katika New York SharePoint Watumiaji Group meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, hii ilikuwa ni wote kuhusu Q&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Michael Lotter ilianzisha mimi wazo mpya na mimi alitaka kushiriki.
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. Kama matokeo, 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. At first, hii si tatizo, lakini hivi karibuni, zaidi na zaidi (mashirika yasiyo ya kiufundi) users needed to use the utility. His question was (kufafanua):
"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, lakini wanahitaji kuwa utendaji."
Michael Lotter alipendekeza kuwa yeye configure mpya virtual mashine, 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, lakini mimi tu kusema kwamba mimi nadhani ni wazo nadhifu kweli.
