DIRMAINT's WORKUNIT command can be used for an immediate retry. The problem is that it is hard to know what workunit ID to enter on the command. But, I weren't Sir Kris The Guide if I did't provide a solution: Part of my DRM package on the VM Download lib is the DIRMW EXEC - DIRMW lists all DIRMAINT workunits (active or failed) (in the list you see what the DIRM command was) - DIRMW provides commands to Cancel/Retry/Xedit/Delete/... workunits
