    We've set the Alert flag on a bunch of AIX error log templates so that we can take action when they are logged to the error log. However, the operator message class and info type errors are not "alertable". Is there any way to change the class or type of existing errors in the template database to, say, put them in "software" class or make them TEMP type so that then the Alert falg can be set? It would be handy to be able to "catch" JFS_FS_FULL in this way.

Anyway, it occurs to me that changing the error class or type in the error log template also causes the error id associated with the template to change. Unlike the Alert field, the other fields are all "hashed" together to generate the Id. There is likely compiled code somewhere that's still going to use the old error id ...
