Weblogic APM agent leading to error in application

    Hello,
    We have installed an APM 10.7 weblogic agent in a test environment (Windows OS) of our customer and noticed that when the agent is deployed with its default contents (we downloaded the weblogic agent files), our customer is facing a specific error in some of the application flows which is affecting core functionalities of these flows.
    We managed to overpass this situation by completely disabling the webservices.pbd (we commented it) in the agent properties.
    However, our customer would like us to narrow down the issue more, so my question is what would you suggest to possibly put in comments inside webservices.pbd so that we don't completely lose the web services monitoring from the agent ?

    The error we trace is "Action for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message".
    This error is produced from the application because probably it has some security features which are not letting a field of a specific WS call to be exposed, so APM agent is failing to get that information and send it to the APM server.
    According to this link, the application team needs to add WS-Addressing headers to the request, but unfortunately they have refused to make any change to their side, because their application was properly functioning before the deployment of our agent.

    I would appreciate any suggestion.

    Kind regards
