Deploy datawedge profile with headwind

Question

Hello,

we would like to deploy a DataWedge profile via Headwind. Could you please advise on the correct procedure for doing this on a Zebra TC27 running Android 14 with DataWedge version 13?

Please note that with this Android version, writing to /Android/data/... is restricted due to Android platform limitations.

Via Headwind, you can deploy a DataWedge profile to Zebra devices.

1. Export an existing DataWedge profile to a file dwprofile_xxx.db (the profile file name will contain the profile name).

2. Upload this file to Headwind MDM (Files section). As a path on device, choose: //enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport/dwprofile_xxx.db (two slashes before `enterprise`). 

3. Assign the file to the required configurations.

The profile should be auto-imported by devices.

Notice: after importing, profile files disappear from the /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport/ directory. Headwind MDM doesn't know this feature, and it will attempt to upload a file each hour. To avoid looping, unlink the file from the configuration after the profile is imported.
