  Even if a value is already registered in the asset management database, it is overwritten with the value in the collected ITDM2 management information. However, if the applicable value in the collected ITDM2 management information is NULL or N/A, it is not overwritten.

• Not overwritten

  If a value is already registered in the asset management database, it is not overwritten.
