Apps and data
This section describes how to perform routine device application tasks, operating system imaging, inventory management, and
set policies by using the Wyse management console. The repository names are color coded to indicate the status.
You can configure the following type of policies using the Apps and Data page:
● Standard application policy—This policy enables you to install a single application package.
● Advanced application policy—This policy enables you to install multiple application packages.
● Image policy—This policy enables you to install the operating system.
Deployment of application policies and operating system images to the thin clients can be scheduled immediately or later, based
on a specific time zone, or time zone that is configured on your device.
NOTE: From Wyse Management Suite 3.3, 5000 concurrent downloads of the configurations to the client are supported.
Any further concurrent download is moved to a queued state until a slot is free. The request is timed out after 60 s.

Application policy
Wyse Management Suite supports the following types of application inventories and application deployment policies:
● Configure thin client application inventory
● Configure Wyse Software thin client application inventory
● Create and deploy standard application policy to thin clients
● Create and deploy advanced application policy to thin clients
● Create and deploy standard application policy to Wyse Software Thin Clients
● Create and deploy advanced application policy to Wyse Software Thin Clients
Important notes for Windows-based devices:
● Supports installation for Windows-based applications with extension .msi, .exe, .msu, .msp.
Application with any other extension is downloaded to %sytemdrive%\wyse\WDA" Ex: "C:\wyse\WDA.
● For deploying .exe applications by using Wyse Management Suite, follow the silent installation method. You must enter
the appropriate silent parameters if required. For example, VMware-Horizon-Client-4.6.1-6748947.exe /silent /install /
norestart.
● Supports script deployments with file extensions .bat, .cmd, .ps1, .vbs.
Script with any other extension is downloaded to %sytemdrive%\wyse\WDA" Ex: "C:\wyse\WDA.
● Any script which is pushed by using Wyse Management Suite should be non-interactive which means there is no user
interaction that is required during the installation.
● In advanced application policy if there is a script/exe which returns value other than 0 then it is considered as a failure.
● In advanced application policy if pre-install fails then application installation is not continued.
● Any exe/scripts pushed by using standard application is reported as success with error code being updated in job status.
● For applications with extension msi/msu/msp standard error codes is reported. If application returns REBOOT_REQUIRED
then device goes through one extra reboot.
Important notes for Linux devices:
● Supports installation for Linux-based applications with extension .bin, .deb for ThinLinux 2.0 and .RPM for Thin Linux 1.0.
● Supports script deployments for ThinLinux devices with extensions .sh.
● In standard or advanced application policy if there is a script/deb/rpm which returns value other than 0 then it is considered
as a failure.
● In advanced application policy if pre-install fails then app installation is not continued.
