Merging Object Profiles on the EDM

When you merge object profiles, all of the system records associated with the non-surviving object profile are transferred to the surviving object profile. The non-surviving profile is given a status of merged and is no longer active. The SBR of the surviving profile is recalculated based on the new system records that were added to the profile due to the merge. After merging two profiles, review the system records in the active profile to determine whether any of them should be deactivated.
