On each workstation
On CAPS running on a client workstation (without the POS client)
The Device Information CAL package is not available for Linux POS clients running Simphony release 19.1. In addition, it is not needed for Simphony release 19.1.2 as this package is deployed automatically with the Service Host. However, the Device Information CAL package must be deployed for Win32 clients that still run on Simphony release 19.1 or 18.2.1 and earlier, so the device information and metrics can be sent to the enterprise for the older clients. The resulting device information status is propagated to the Service Host and to the property.
The Device Information module lets you schedule and view workstation metrics in the EMC at the Enterprise level. The device information allows administrators to detect possible issues that could prevent a client from upgrading successfully. Device Information Needs Attention State contains a list and description of the needs attention workstation state.
The CAL client is updated to Simphony release 19.1.2.
The Device Information CAL package is deployed to the workstation, which shows the status upon deployment. Simphony clients with Linux running Simphony release 19.1.1 cannot receive the separate handler package due to a technical issue.
