Abstract: Methods and systems are described that involve creating a where-used objects list that contains a set of provider's objects to be adjusted or tested in a customized program after an upgrade of a program, import of projects, patches, and so on. A set of contracts is created that corresponds to the set of provider's objects used in the customer system. Each contract contains information about the provider's object it is created for and assigned to. This information is used by a lifecycle tool to detect if a provider's object has been changed by comparing the contract information of the provider's object with a new imported version of the same provider's object. The provider's object is modified according to the detected change and the assigned contract is recreated to represent the latest data.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a source version of a software product may be established in connection with a software production landscape.
