  Formerly, when a "implement' command has been issued either in
  migration or customization mode but the incomplete
  customization process was processed in the other mode, the
  implemented customization data could be in a unpredictable
  state.
  

Problem conclusion

• Now, the CDP has been improved by:
  1. a start up mode check:
     A start in migration mode is not possible, if a customization
     has not been finished (no 'implement' has been issued)
     A start in customization mode is not possible, if a
     migration has not been finished (no 'implement' has been
     issued)
  2. a new command 'status':
     The new command status shows the preparation status, whether
     an migration or a customization is pending, or no
     customization or migration is pending.
  3. an action log:
     An action log is introduced that keeps a history of all CDP
     activities.
  4. a copy of the last used customization data
     A copy of the customization data that has been used with the
     last preparation of deployment data is saved.
     This requires additional 10 MB space for the file system of
