  2. Check whether conflicts with customizations could occur.
  3. Create a backup of the database so that you can restore the original state if necessary.
  4. (Optional) Deactivate the synchronization project.

NOTE: If you update existing synchronization projects, the connection parameters from the default variable set are always used. Ensure that the variables in the default variable set contain valid values.
