Procedure for System Administrators

Changes to the object repository technically result in generated ABAP
programs. Thus the modeling metadata is serialized as a self-extracting
program. All object repository imports (based on those programs) are
listed on the import log. Object repository updates are transported by
SAP service packages or SAP Notes.
