Purpose

This section consolidates and deepens all guidance on class tables: preparation, synchronization, update methods, performance, operational patterns, and troubleshooting. It cross‑links existing blogs, example scripts, and procedure/function references so that the older scattered material can later be retired or folded in.

Scope

• Preparing and validating class tables before large scale data exchange.

• Choosing between full, selective, incremental, or property‑scoped sync.

• Update strategies (batch, transaction mode, item-by-item, workflow/state sensitive).

• Handling schema drift, new properties, lookups, multi‑value properties, aliases.

• Performance tuning and safe scaling patterns.

• Operational monitoring (ProcessBatch, logging, reconciliation).
