In the 'Smitty update_all" output i have seen the below failure error too .

printers.ibmuniversal.rte 6.1.8.0         Requisite failure
printers.ibmgb18030_CN.rt 6.1.8.0         Requisite failure

I have got the below URL(FIX) for "bos.net.uucp 6.1.8.0" but after installing that the result given below. Needed some expert help.

Code:

A separate approach could be to delete the filesets that are not updating properly. To help decide you could use lslpp -f <filesetName> and look at the files included and determine if there are any you actually need. If not you could delete and the command oslevel -s will give you the level you expect.

I have not downloaded the files myself, so I cannot say if it is for all systems. The separate fix for bos.net.uucp makes it seem like this is a "PTF in Error" - or something like that.

Use "oslevel -qs" (q=query) to see all the oslevels your system knows about. Hopefully, the TL8 is at the top of your list.
Code:
hostname:/:$ oslevel -qs
Known Service Packs
-------------------
7100-01-04-1216
7100-01-03-1207
7100-01-02-1150
7100-01-01-1141
7100-01-00-0000
7100-00-05-1207
7100-00-04-1140
7100-00-03-1115
7100-00-02-1041
7100-00-01-1037
hostname:/:$

Then use "oslevel -sl 7100-01-04-1216" (l=lacking) with the version number being the level you are trying to get to and it should tell you which filesets are down leveled. You can then focus your efforts on finding later versions of them and getting them updated.
Code:
hostname:/:$ oslevel -sl 7100-01-04-1216

Hello MichaelFelt/Kah00na,

Thanks for your replies. The issue has been solved.

1) First I've uninstalled the printer language filesets.
2) 2nd I have uninstalled the UUCP fileset(Broken), idendified this fileset was broken due to the UUCP id wasn't present in the server, so I've created that id and installed the UUCP base version(bos.net.uucp 6.1.6.0 ) from the base media and then installed the latest version( bos.net.uucp 6.1.8.0). Now the issue got solved and my AIX got upgrated to TL8 successfully.
Code:
Before upgrading : 
bos.net.uucp 6.1.8.0                    (BROKEN)

   After upgrading from the base media : 
  root@[/retail/AIX/uucp]# lslpp -l bos.net.uucp
  
  Name                        Level           Part        Event       Result
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  bos.net.uucp                6.1.6.0         USR         APPLY       SUCCESS
  bos.net.uucp                6.1.6.0         ROOT        APPLY       SUCCESS
  
  
  
  After update to the latest one : 
  
  root@[/retail/AIX/uucp]# lslpp -l bos.net.uucp
    Fileset                      Level  State      Description
