not copy, but instead modified the data that Inventory Solution collects, the
changes that were made would be lost the next time Inventory Solution collects
data.
The CMDB Solution synchronization feature updates the computer data that was
copied from Inventory Solution for added or removed computers. Computer and
device data you have entered through CMDB Solution remains intact when the
update is made. For example, you use Inventory Solution to collect data on your
computers, but no system number data is available as part of the inventory. You
use CMDB Solution to enter system number data for each computer. Inventory to
asset data synchronization updates the computer data in CMDB Solution, but does
not erase any system number data.

Resource Merge Rule task page
To merge duplicate resources for resource types other than computers and users,
you must create a merge rule with the Resource Merge Rule task. Default resource
type data classes define the merge keys that the merge rules are based upon. For
example, when you create a merge rule for desk phones, when you select desk
phone, the list of available merge keys is limited to the default data classes for
telephone like phone number.
Additional resource lookup keys can be defined using Connector Solution and
appear in the Merge Key drop-down list.
When you merge two resources, you select one of them to be the resource to keep,
and you select, for each data class, to keep data from one of the other resources.
The resource that is not kept is deleted. If the resource that is not kept has a data
class that the kept resource does not have, that data is deleted.
