Diagnostic Provider components require a have a DP Name. While the DPID must be unique within the entire WAS domain. DP names need only be unique within the JVM process. The DP Name should be short, easy to scan, and by convention, should have a suffix of DP. The DP MBean can drive methods on a Diagnostic Provider using this name.
