On a Java agent installed on Websphere, the autonaming functionality is not working.  It issues this agent log error:

[IntroscopeAgent.Agent] Unable to automatically determine the Agent Name because: The Application Server naming mechanism is not yet available.

Setting up a custom service did not solve the issue.

Besides custom service, if Java2 Security is enabled on WAS, permissions needs to be added to server.policy. 

Java agent 10.1WAS 7.0Suse

a.) create a custom service, as described in:

b.) If Java2 Security is enabled, it is necessary to modify server.policy:

Please note:

When the following lines are not effective:

// permissions for Introscope AutoProbe

grant codeBase "file:${was.install.root}/-" {

permission java.io.FilePermission "${was.install.root}${/

}wily${/}-", "read";

Please use the following:

// permissions for Introscope PMI support 

grant codeBase "file:${was.install.root}/-" { 

permission java.security.AllPermission; 

};
