Resolution

The below messages and verifying the wily/core/ext directory confirmed this, the PPCTGRequestExit.jar file is in the wily/core/ext.  It should not be there.  

[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Duplicate Extension Introscope PowerPack for CTG Request Exit will not be loaded.
[WARN] [IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Extension "Introscope PowerPack for CTG Request Exit" loaded from "/products/wily/V1073/PS/wily/core/config/../ext/PPCTGbmonitor.jar" is missing a required manifest attribute "com-wily-Extension-Plugins-List".

It should be moved out of the ext directory and into the CTG classes directory as specified by the link below in our documentation.

2. Copy the PPCTGRequestExit.jar file from <Agent_Home>/examples/PowerPackForIBMCTG/ext to the CTG classes directory.
