Steps

1. After the WDA.exe file is copied to the repository, go to Apps and Data, and create a standard application policy with this package—

see Create and deploy standard application policy to thin clients.

NOTE: Advanced application policy is supported only from Wyse Device Agent 14.x onwards. It is recommended that

you use the standard application policy when you upgrade Wyse Device Agent from 14.x. You can also use the

advanced application policy for upgrading Wyse Device Agent from 14.x to latest versions.

2. Go to the Jobs page and schedule a job to upgrade the Wyse Device Agent.

NOTE: For upgrading Windows Embedded Standard Wyse Device Agent from 13.x version to 14.x version, it is

recommended that you use HTTP as the repository protocol.

After a successful installation, the status is sent to the server.

Installing or upgrading Wyse Device Agents on

ThinLinux and Linux clients

Prerequisites

• To install Wyse Device Agents on Dell Wyse 3040 Thin Clients with ThinLinux version 2.0, image version 2.0.14, and Wyse Device

Agent version 3.0.7, you must install the wda3040_3.0.10-01_amd64.deb file, and then install the

wda_3.2.12-01_amd64.tar file.

• You must install the platform utility add-on and Wyse Device Agent add-on for Linux thin clients. You can install wda_x.x.x.tar file

for ThinLinux thin clients.

About this task

You can install or upgrade add-ons by using any of the following options:

• Using INI parameters

• Add-ons Manager

• RPM commands

Steps

1. If you are using a public cloud or a remote repository on a private cloud, copy the RPM files to the thinClientApps folder of the

repository. By default, the latest Wyse Device Agents and platform utility RPMs for Linux and ThinLinux clients are available in the local

repository.

2. Go to the Jobs page and schedule a job to upgrade the platform utility add-on.

You must wait until the platform utility add-on is successfully installed on your thin client.

NOTE:

Install a platform utility add-on first, and then install a Wyse Device Agent add-on. You cannot install the

latest Wyse Device Agents before installing the latest platform utility add-on.

3. On the Jobs page, schedule a job to upgrade Wyse Device Agent on the client.

NOTE: The Linux client restarts after installing the Wyse Device Agent add-on version 2.0.11.
