1. A method for dynamically upgrading software applications in a distributed network, comprising the steps of:
- selecting at least one module for upgrade;
selecting at least one component associated with the at least one module for upgrade;
selecting at least one source and destination site parameter;
generating a profile of at least one upgrade application based upon the selected at least one module, at least one component and at least one source and destination parameter; and
retrieving at least one upgrade application based upon the generated profile.

Abstract
A system and method for upgrading software application is disclosed. The system provides a profile upgrade utility that generates a profile of desired application upgrades based upon information provided from a user. In operation, a user may provide a description of modules for upgrade, along with any associated components and a description of the module location. Using this information, the system generates a profile of the desired upgrade. The upgrade profile is then converted to a text file and uploaded to an import/export utility that retrieves the requested upgrades.
