Use PXUTIL to manage the UID/GID databases. The PXUTIL utility 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
You must have SM capablility to run PXUTIL.
