Change Object structure related warning message (BMXAA6077E) so logged as WARN instead of INFO

Maximo is logging important warnings as INFO messages when they should be logged as WARN messages

[5/16/14 9:22:26:680 BST] 00000014 SystemOut O 16 May 2014 09:22:26:680 [INFO] [MXUI1] [] Column REPORTOBJECT in source object MAXAPPS for the MOBILEDATAGROUP object structure is not a valid attribute.

These are being reported as INFO messages but in reality they are warning messages and action needs to be taken.

The Maxmessages table entry shows that there is a BMX code (BMXAA6077E) associated with it but it isn't being included in the logs presumably because it isn't being logged using the WARN method.

Actions are recommended but administrators often search for ERROR/WARN messages so they may miss this.

If administrators use automated log monitoring tools they may miss this potentially important error message.

The request is to change the code so that this is logged using the WARN method.

This was raised via a PMR but the advice was to raise it as an RFE.
