Are you running the EKM Server under MVS with JZOS batch loader? While I agree with you both concerning the lousy messaging, running the EKM Server as a started task with the batch loader modifies the message enough for automation (we use BMC) to pickup on the fact that EKM is up and available.
When we start EKM we get the following: 08363 02:52:24.47 STC09716 000A0294 BPXM023I (EKMSERV) Processing 08363 02:52:24.47 STC09716 00000090 BPXM023I (EKMSERV) Server is started 08363 02:52:24.47 STC09716 000A0294 BPXM023I (EKMSERV) Server is running.
