Abstract
An approach is provided in which a host system identifies a set of differences between a first version of a software product and a second version of the software product. The set of differences include different file system files, database differences, and configuration differences. The host system creates database utilities and configuration utilities that correspond to the database differences and configuration differences, respectively. In turn, the host system creates an executable upgrade image that includes the different file system files, the database utilities, and the configuration utilities.
