Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided for updating a computer program. In this method, a record related to a data structure being effected in the updating of the computer program is identified. Here, the data structure is accessible by the computer program. Additionally, a request is received during the update of the computer program to access a further record related to the data structure. The further record in the request is identified to match the record effected in the updating of the computer program.

Abstract: Described are methods and systems related to transporting one or more object packets present in a nested hierarchy of one or more system landscapes. The object packets available for transporting from source systems to target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes is identified. A transport request is generate for a collection of object packets of each source system in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The transport requests are aggregated to render a nested transport collection. The nested transport collection is transported within the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes. The nested transport collection is deployed to assign the transport requests present in the nested transport collection to the target systems present in the nested hierarchy of the system landscapes.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing software updates. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving software objects associated with a software update. Moreover, a container may be provided. The container may include the received software objects and attributes. The attributes may describe the software objects to configure transport to different applications. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.

Abstract: Exemplary methods and systems consistent with the present invention may allow for updating a client. In exemplary embodiments, information about a plurality of maintenance activities applied to a server may be recorded. The recorded information may then be accessed when updating the client to reflect the maintenance activities applied to the server. The client may then be updated based on the recorded information.
