Meaningful complete initialization message fro all the OMEGAMON products

It is not obvious enough to determine the complete and successful initialization of the OMEGAMON products (for z/OS, CICS, IMS, DB2, MQ,.. ). We can't find an unique message that indicates that all the components of an Omegamon started task are re...
