in the local repository. If you are using a public cloud, or a remote repository on a private cloud, copy the WDA.exe file to the
thinClientApps folder in the repository.
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.
