Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for managing dependencies between data upgrade files included in an application upgrade. According to one set of embodiments, the data upgrade files are grouped into functional upgrade groups. A dependency hierarchy for the functional upgrade groups is then created based on dependencies between the data upgrade files. The dependency hierarchy provides a high-level, functional view of the overall dependency flow of an upgrade. In various embodiments, this allows for greater insight into existing and potential dependency issues, leading to more robust and efficient upgrades. In further embodiments, an upgrade tracking system is provided. The upgrade tracking system is configured to track and report detailed analytics related to an upgrade run. In various embodiments, the upgrade tracking system may leverage the grouping of data upgrade files into functional upgrade groups to provide intelligent reporting at a functional level.
