You can invoke the PXUTIL utility from a session or job.
It requires SM capability. It is breakable except for the period during which either old database files are being purged or new ones are being saved.

The UPDATE command provides a way of ensuring that your UID/GID
databases accurately reflect the current directory structure.
You may need to update the databases in response to particular error
messages generated by various commands that could not
properly update the databases as expected. UID/GIDs of existing
users and accounts are preserved. If the databases do not exist,
they are created from scratch, with UID values beginning at 100 and GID values also beginning at 100.
The UID database contains the following information:
- login name
User name.account name. For example, MGR.SYS
- uid
Integer initially allocated sequentially for each user.
- Initial working directory
Home group. For example, /SYS/PUB.
- Initial program to use as a shell

- group name
Group name. For example, SYS.
