Resolution
The software
distribution directory was on another server, but the /user /pass
switches in the *.poa configuration file were commented out.
GroupWise will check the software distribution directory, and
attempt to connect to the remote server. If the user and password
are not specified, this can abend the server.
Need to specify a /user /pass switch in the configuration file.
section of *.poa configuration file to change:
; Remote Connection(s).
; The user id and password for remote file server(s).
