Chapter 19 PXUTIL
The system manager uses the PXUTIL utility to perform operations related
to the UID and GID databases. These include:
* creating the UID and GID databases
* synchronizing existing UID and GID database files with the current
directory
PXUTIL requires exclusive access to the databases. This means that any
command that needs to modify these files (such as NEWACCT, ALTUSER, and
so on) fails during PXUTIL operations. For this reason, no activities
that access the databases (NEWACCT, ALTACCT, PURGEACCT, LISTACCT,
NEWUSER, ALTUSER, PURGEUSER, LISTUSER, and logon commands) should be
attempted on the system while PXUTIL is in operation.
NOTE If you press BREAK and the process is aborted, MPE/iX resolves the
incomplete operation by closing the existing files (without
updating them) and by deleting the new files that it opened.
