Rules for Changing Message Severity

Review the following rules before changing the severity level of your messages.

• Messages originally designated with a severity of I should only be changed to severity J.
• Messages originally designated with a severity of J should only be changed to severity I.
• Messages originally designated with a severity of T must not be changed. Doing so may result in serious problems.
• Messages originally designated with a severity of R must not be changed.
• If none of the above rules apply, you can generally make a message available to be trapped by the AOF by changing its severity to an O.
