APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Embedded symbol ${current.server.name} used in library.policy
  does not expand.  The following error is seen in WebSphere logs:
  
  SECJ0172E: Error line 17: unable to expand "current.cell.name"
  in encoding the FilePath
  
  For example, the library.policy may have the following
  permission:
  
  grant {
    permission java.io.FilePermission
  "${user.install.root}/installedApps/${current.cell.name}/-",
  "read";
  };
  

Local fix

• Change "current.cell.name" to an exact path. For example, using:
  /WAS7/profile/AppSrv01/cell/CellName
  instead of:
  current.cell.name
