Issue/Introduction

We have upgraded the agent from 9.6 to 10.7 but one of the TIBCO BW applications is throwing an exception on startup

Exception Details:
  Location:
    com/ibm/msg/client/wmq/internal/WMQConnection.<init>(Lcom/ibm/mq/jmqi/JmqiEnvironment;Lcom/ibm/mq/

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : APM Agents

Resolution

The class where the exception is taking place needs to be excluded from instrumentation. One way to do this is as follows:

Create a file called skips.pbd in the hotdeploy folder under the agent containing the following line:

SkipClass: com.ibm.msg.client.wmq.internal.WMQConnection
