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.
