• 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.

after you click Back to Task.
• The date of the last import activity is displayed in the WCM resources task section.
Import view and Windows-based profiles
Windows-based Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) resources that are used in the Windows-based profiles must be imported before
importing profiles to Wyse Management Suite. For more information about importing Windows-based WCM resources—see Import
Windows-based WCM resources.
You can select only one view to import groups, devices, and profiles. Wyse Management Suite supports only one group hierarchy, which is
equivalent to a view in WDM.
To import a view and Windows-based profile to Wyse Management Suite:
1. Start the Wyse Management Suite Import Tool. See Getting started with Wyse Management Suite Import Tool.
2. Click START IMPORT in the View & WES Profiles/ThreadX_5X Configurations section.
The View & WES Profiles/ThreadX_5X Configurations screen is displayed with two options—Create and Build. By default, the
Create option is selected.
3. Perform any one of the following tasks:
• Create groups and profiles using one of the existing WDM views. See Create groups and profiles using existing WDM views.
• Create groups and profiles using WDM default group types, or create a group hierarchy that is not assigned as a view in WDM. See
Create groups and profiles using default WDM group types.
4. Click Import.
The import status is displayed as In Progress. The time that is taken to import view and Windows-based profiles varies from minutes to
hours depending on the size of the imported data. The import status is changed to Imported after the data is imported to the Wyse
Management Suite repository. If the data import is unsuccessful, the import status is changed to Failed. For more information about
the import status screen, see View import status of view and Windows-based profiles.
Create groups and profiles using existing WDM views
To create groups and profiles using one of the existing Wyse Device Manager (WDM) views:
1. On the View and WES Profiles/ThreadX_5X Configurations screen, click the Create radio button.
A drop-down list with the groups that are assigned to the selected view (except All Devices) is displayed. By default, all the groups
under the view are selected for migration.
2. Select a view and click Next.
You can only select a view with nine or less levels of the group hierarchy. If there are group levels with empty values, then the group
levels are renamed to NotSet. However, if the group levels are missing in WDM, then they are assigned to the available parent.
NOTE:
If there are resources for wallpaper and wireless in profile/configuration, the resource filenames are prefixed
with the configuration package name in WDM. For example, packagename_resourcename.
3. Select any of the following options:
• Groups—By default, the Groups check box is selected.
• Devices—To import devices that are already associated to the selected view in WDM, select the Devices check box, and click
Next.
• WES Profiles—To import a Windows-based profile that is already assigned to the selected view in WDM, select the WES
Profiles check box, and click Next.
The screen displays the group hierarchy with devices and profiles that are assigned to each group.
NOTE:
If you want to assign both devices and WES profiles to the selected view, select both Devices and WES
Profiles check boxes. If you want to assign both WES Profiles and ThreadX_5X configurations to the selected view,
select both WES Profiles and ThreadX_5X Configurations check boxes.
All configuration assignments in WDM are selected, and you cannot modify. Assignment of device configuration to specific groups can
be performed only using the Build option. For more information—see Create groups and profiles using default WDM group types.
