EQQM99* as an I not E level

EQQM99* messages appear when there changes done with reapply after the switch of CP. Majority of the messages are harmless and it is worth considering them as information level not an error as it can lead to confusions related to the system malfunctions when checking the MLOG

    To help us properly plan this activity and assess the technical impact, could you please provide a list of the specific message IDs you would like us to reclassify?

    **** I also want to provide some context on why these messages are currently classified as "Errors." In IZWS, a message is flagged as an "Error" when a user-initiated request (such as modifying the Current Plan) has failed and the system has rejected the request. ****

    The "Error" status is a critical safeguard. It ensures that the user or an automated process is immediately aware that their intended action did not complete.

    Our concern is that changing a "rejected request" message to "Information" might be misleading, as it could imply that the action was successful when it was not, potentially leading to inconsistencies in the plan.

    Once we have your list of specific messages, our team can analyze each case individually to determine the safest way to address this requirement.
