I kienet waħda ta ' 20 jew 30 (jew forsi 100?) membri tal-panel aħħar lejl fil- New York SharePoint Utenti Grupp meeting. Instead of the usual presentation format, din kienet kollha dwar Q&A between the audience and the panel members. Early on, Michael Lotter introdotti me idea ġdida u I riedu jaqsmu.
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. Bħala riżultat, 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. Fl-ewwel, dan ma kienx problema, iżda malajr, aktar u aktar (mhux tekniku) users needed to use the utility. His question was (jipparafraża):
"What are my options? I don’t want to keep letting users log directly onto the server, iżda jeħtieġ li l-funzjonalità."
Michael Lotter ssuġġeriet li jiġi kkonfigurat magna virtwali ġdid, 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, imma jien biss ngħid li naħseb li hija idea verament pulita.
