Diagnostic Provider names

In addition to the Diagnostic Provider ID (DPID), each component that implements the Diagnostic Provider interface must have a Diagnostic Provider Name. While the DPID must be unique within the entire WebSphere® Application Server domain, the Diagnostic Provider Name need only be unique within the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM).

Unlike the Diagnostic Provider ID, which tends to be long and not human-friendly, the Diagnostic Provider Name should be shorter and easier to read. In addition, by convention it should end in DP. The Diagnostic Service MBean (see The simpler interfaces provided by the Diagnostic Service MBeans) can drive methods on a Diagnostic Provider using its name.
