Hi all,
I try to start vmware-eam service but I get the following error:

Than I checked the eam.properties file. It was empty and I followed this article: VMware Knowledge Base
I have no whitespaces in eam.properties or other issues. Here is my eam.properties file:

If I try to start the service, I become the same error message like the empty file.
Here are the eam.log:

Can someone help me?
Thank you!
