Abstract
A system and method to automatically identify resources requiring upgrade in a hierarchical database management system. The system may include an input module to receive input identifying a single resource for upgrade. A comparator module may compare an active resource library to a staging library to identify additional resources for upgrade, and an incorporation module may incorporate the single input resource and the additional resources into an upgrade list. A generation module may then automatically derive a unit of change from this list, where the unit of change includes the single input resource as well as additional resources that interact with the input resource.
