J06.14 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

Run merge_whatis if zphirnm indicates it is needed.
When you finally run ZPHIRNM, the following lines are written to the log:
Note: merge_whatis needs to be run to update the man pages. Files in a whatis.frag directory have changed.
The merge_whatis is a shell script in /bin. It creates and updates the whatis database used
by the OSS shell man, apropos, and whatis commands. You must run the merge_whatis
command once against each directory that contains the man page files to be used.
You will run merge_whatis after using ZPHIRNM. If you have OSS configured to run the OSS
merge_whatis utility automatically, you can ignore running merge_whatis.
