Issue/Introduction
Overview
"Cross-Process Transaction Tracing" feature enables you to trace all of the operations that take place in a transaction, including transactions that cross JVM boundaries on computers with compatible JVM versions.
You can enable Cross-Process Transaction for the below 2 scenarios:
a) If you using Websphere Java RMI to call EJBs
-Turn on Work area service : Go to Websphere console, select Business Process Service > Work Area Service, make sure "Enable service at service startup" is selected
-Open the IntroscopeAgent.profile, set introscope.agent.websphere.crossjvm=true
b) Enable cross JVM via webservices
This is achieve using the SOA Performance Management agent extension. It supports transaction tracing over the following protocols : SOAP (enabled by default), HTTP and JMS. This agent extension is enabled by default.
The following errors are thrown in agent logs after activating crossjvm ("introscope.agent.websphere.crossjvm=true") and Cross Process Transaction is not working.
How to correct these issues?

1. Turn on Work area service in WebSphere admin console:
-Go to WebSphere Administration console
-Click Servers \ WebSphere Application servers \ <your appserver> \ Business Process Services > Work Area Service
-Check the option "Enable service at server startup"
2. If you are using a pre-10.7 Agent version, make sure to configure the custom service in WebSphere
-Go to WebSphere Administration console
-Click Servers \ WebSphere Application servers \ <your appserver> \ Administration \ Custom Services.
-Click New and enter the below values:
-Check the option "Enable service at server startup"
-Specify the name of the custom service class = com.wily.introscope.api.websphere.IntroscopeCustomService
-Specify the fully path of the WebAppSupport.jar
3. Open the IntroscopeAgent.profile
-Add the following parameter introscope.agent.skipjndierror.location={path to the hotdeploy folder in the wily folder structure}
-Save the Agent.profile
-Restart the Agent.
