Hey everyone,
If you’ve recently upgraded Netwrix Access Analyzer (formerly Netwrix Enterprise Auditor/StealthAUDIT) from v11.6 to 12.0, and you notice the File System 0-CreateSchema job is taking much longer than you’re used to – don’t worry, you’re not alone, and it’s actually expected.
What’s going on?
As part of the upgrade from v11.6 to 12.0, there’s a new analysis task “18. Data Migration” on the 0-CreateSchema job that:
- Moves IDs and metadata from the
SA_FSAA_Resourcestable into new, better-organized tables - Cleans up mappings in
SA_FSAA_TrusteesandSA_FSAA_Gates, filling in any missing values with safe defaults
This process helps lay the groundwork for a cleaner, more efficient system — but in environments with a lot of File System data, it can take 12 hours or more to complete.
What should you do?
To let the process run smoothly:
- Schedule the File System 0-CreateSchema job (no trigger needed)
- Temporarily disable other File System jobs under the Scheduled node
- Right-click 0-CreateSchema in the Schedules node and select Run
- After it completes, re-enable the other File System jobs
Still concerned?

Hope this helps – and if anyone else has gone through the upgrade from NAA v11.6 to 12.0 and has tips or feedback, feel free to share below!
