Я быў адным з 20 або 30 (ці, можа быць 100?) эксперты учора ўвечары ў Нью-Ёрк SharePoint Users Group meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, гэта ўсё аб Q&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Майкл Lotter прадставіў мяне новая ідэя, і я хацеў бы падзяліцца.
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. У выніку, 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, гэта не было праблемай, але неўзабаве, усё больш і больш (нетэхнічнае) users needed to use the utility. His question was (Перафразуючы):
"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, але яны павінны выкарыстоўваць гэтую функцыю."
Майкл Lotter прапанаваў яму наладзіць новую віртуальную машыну, 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, але я проста павінен сказаць, што я думаю, што гэта сапраўды выдатная ідэя.
