rebuild sysutils database

In one of our Informix instance (version 7.30.FC7 on HP-UX 11) the sysutils database creation didnt complete when the server was initiallized a year ago. Now that I am trying to setup onbar, I find that my sysutils database only has three tables in there. I am thinking if I can safely create the rest of the sysutils tables using $INFORMIXDIR/etc/sysutils.sql ? Would it cause a problem if I dont run buildsmi script and instead just create the missing tables? Informix Tech support recommends that I should bring the instance in quiescent mode and run buildsmi. Is this really required?? Could someone help. Thanks Shehla Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Yes it is. You should run buildsmi under user informix, no log (buildsmi.log) should be created by informix if the running is sucessful, or you can check the log for error. It is under /informixhome/etc. regards <shehla_arshad@my-deja.com> wrote in message news:8s595l$567$1@nnrp1.deja.com... > In one of our Informix instance (version 7.30.FC7 > on HP-UX 11) the sysutils database creation didnt > complete when the server was initiallized a year > ago.
