NOTE:
• You can use the Search box to search for a resource in the list. Type the name of the resource in the Search box, and press
Enter.
• In the Wyse Management Suite Import Tool, the package name is prexed with an underscore followed by the resource name.
When you import the corresponding congurations, the tool updates the name in same manner. However, the WDM data
remains unaltered, and the changes are made internally by the import tool.
• You can click the respective column headers to sort the objects in ascending or descending order.
The import status of a resource is displayed as In-Progress. The import status of a resource is changed to Imported after the resource
is imported to the Wyse Management Suite repository. The import status of a resource is changed to Failed if the resource import is
unsuccessful. For more information about the import status screen—see Viewing import status of Windows-based WCM resources.
Viewing import status of Windows-based WCM resources
After you import Windows-based Wyse Conguration Manager (WCM) resources using the WDM Import task screen, the task status
screen is displayed automatically. The status screen lists the following attributes:
• Imported Packages—Displays the total number of resources that are successfully imported.
• Pending Packages—Displays the total number of resources that are pending to be imported. To import a pending resource, click the
link and start the import activity again.
• Failed import Packages—Displays the total number of resources that failed during import. To import a failed resource, click the link and
start the import activity again.
NOTE
:
• After the import activity of the resources is complete, the VIEW STATUS option is displayed during next login or after you click
Back to Task.
• The date of the last import activity is displayed in the WES WCM resources task section.
Importing view and Windows-based proles
Windows-based Wyse Conguration Manager (WCM) resources used in the Windows-based proles must be imported before importing
proles to Wyse Management Suite. For more information about importing Windows-based WCM resources—see Importing Windows-
based WCM resources.
You can select only one view to import groups, devices and proles. This is because Wyse Management Suite supports only one group
hierarchy, which is equivalent to a view in WDM.
To import a view and Windows-based prole to Wyse Management Suite:
1 Start the Wyse Management Suite Import Tool—see Getting started with Wyse Management Suite Import Tool.
2 In the View and WES Proles section, click START IMPORT.
The View and WES Proles screen is displayed with two options—Create and Build. By default, the Create option is selected.
3 On the View and WES Proles screen, perform any one of the following tasks:
• Create groups and devices using one of the existing WDM views—see Creating using existing WDM views.
• Create groups and devices using the WDM default group types, or create a particular group hierarchy in the Wyse Management
Suite that is not assigned as a view in WDM—see, Creating using default WDM group types.
4 Click Import.
The import status is displayed as In Progress. The time taken to import view and the Windows-based proles varies from minutes to
hours depending on the size of the data that is being imported. The import status is changed to Imported after the data is imported to
the Wyse Management Suite repository. The import status is changed to Failed if the data import is unsuccessful. For more
information about the import status screen—see Viewing import status of view and Windows-based proles.
