make sure the end with the last of the material and the new one going in are flat. push them together as it is being fed through, wait. it gets really fun if you have lots of retraction going on.

How to push them together into the feeder?! Is it no problem when print processing? under extrusion, ugly seam...etc.?

Yup! - and I don't think I'll be trying that in the middle of a big print again... :-)
i have my own feeder on the umo so filament goes in easily, if you have a tough time normally inserting filament with the stock one then you might need to practice a bit 
as long as you have good ends, the join is not noticeable. never tried it on the um2, but with robert's feeder it looks doable.
chris is right, if it's because of running out, it's not fun. use a towel to hold the filament, your fingers might get a bit sweaty 
for color changes on prints it's good fun.

The next firmware release will have a "change material" option when you pause the printer.
Will it automatically do a retraction an lift the head out of the way?
The pause function on the UM2 already retracts and move the head to the back left corner (and have been doing it for a long time)?
I was thinking of UMO

If you keep some acetone in a syringe handy, it's easy to spot weld the ends of ABS filament together on the fly.

The next firmware release will have a "change material" option when you pause the printer.
Is that out now?

All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-
