Prevent Maintenance Tasks from reporting a warning when behaving as expected.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

SPP can display events in the maintenance task, such as snapshots locked because of dependencies, as a warning in the summary dashboard. These however are expected behaviour with no action required.

Displaying such events as a warning can be misleading for operators - they see an error, but if they investigate they will be told it is normal behaviour and there is nothing to be done. Perhaps it would be better not to display a warning for expected behaviour unless these events have occured a number of times and warrant further investigation. Otherwise operators will learn to ignore warning errors. The issue here is as there is with no description of the warning other than 'see logs' they will not be able to differentiate between normal behaviour and a real error. Then having learned to ignore these warning messages a problem could go undetected compromising backup integrity.
