    Repeat msg CSFM655I AN ARCHIVED RECORD COLINCIPHER2 IN THE ACTIVE CKDS WAS REFERENCED,whenever CSF restarted

    I used an archived keyand got message CSFM655I AN ARCHIVED RECORD COLINCIPHER2 IN THE ACTIVE CKDS WAS REFERENCED. If I shutdown ICSF and restarted it, then used the key again, I did not get the message. It would be good if ICSF can produce the mes...
