Bat izan nuen, 20 edo 30 (edo agian 100?) panelists azken gau hartan New York SharePoint erabiltzaileak Taldeak meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, Q honi buruz izan zen&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Michael Lotter sartu me to ideia berri bat eta partekatu nahi izan dut.
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. Baten ondorioz, 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. Lehen begiratuan, hau ez zen arazo bat, baina laster, Gero eta gehiago (ez teknikoa) users needed to use the utility. His question was (parafraseatuz):
"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, baina funtzionalitate behar dute."
Michael Lotter konfiguratzeko iradoki zuen makina birtual berria, 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, baina besterik ez dut uste dut benetan neat ideia bat da esatea.
