Upgrade Proxy Service Procedure

When the Enterprise Auditor Console and File System Solution are upgraded, it is necessary to also upgrade the File System Proxy Service when running Enterprise Auditor in Proxy Mode as a Service. This upgrade can be done in two ways:

  • Automatically – An instant job within the Enterprise Auditor Console
  • Manually – On each server hosting the proxy service

CAUTION: 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 below. Subsequent 11.6 upgrades can be done using the automatic upgrade option.

Automatic Upgrade​

The FS_UpdateProxy Job is available through the Instant Job Wizard. This job updates the File System Proxy Service on all servers in the assigned host list. Follow the steps to instantiate this job.

Step 1 – Within the Jobs tree, right-click and select Add Instant Job. The Instant Job Wizard window opens.
