Environment

• Component: APMAGT

Cause

• The Weblogic Communication Tracing extension enables correlation between multiple weblogic domains and requires domain-level security permissions.
• The above error is likely related to security between Weblogic domains that the agent is capturing.

Resolution

Please refer to the following Oracle article to enable trust between WLS domains:
