Upgrade Proxy Service Procedure

When you upgrade the Access Analyzer Console and File System Solution, also upgrade the File System Proxy Service when running Access Analyzer in Proxy Mode as a Service. You can do this upgrade in two ways:

  • Automatically – An instant job within the Access Analyzer Console
  • Manually – On each server hosting the proxy service
warning

When upgrading the Proxy Service to 11.6 from a previous version for the first time, you must manually uninstall the previous version and follow the Manual Upgrade steps. You can do subsequent 11.6 upgrades using the automatic upgrade option.

note

If you have the old Netwrix Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On installed, you must uninstall it before continuing with this upgrade. For Access Analyzer 12.0, the main installation includes Sensitive Data Discovery if your license includes it.
