Issue/Introduction

We are trying to install Java agents on an application that uses IBM MDM.  The MDM JVMs do not work properly once the  agents are installed (v10.7.0.212).

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : APM Agents

Resolution

we found there was -Dorg.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=* already added prior to the one we tried to specify.  
We reverted the bootdelegation we had specified and the app was able to come up and running.
