During the REAPPLY of changes after a CP Switch write EQQM99* Messages as I level instead of E level

Many of the EQQM991E messages are harmless, but having it as an "E" level is misleading. It would be especially helpful if the EQQM99* messages would be written as I level messages instead of E level after a REAPPLY of changes after a CP Switch. Since the messages are "E" level, there is a sense of urgency by the operations staff that immediate resolution is required.

    Just 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.

    The EQQM991E message is harmless for the product but it could be not harmless for the client request.

    However you can concatenate a new message library that includes EQQM99 member and change the message definition from "E" to "I".
