Thanks so much for your prompt help!

And another thing I am trying to find out about associate or new patch! Like for example the required patch is PHNE_27745. But I can't locate it in my HP-UX, it could be either that I haven't installled the patch or maybe the patch that machine is having is a much updated patch.

My queries is how can i determined that my patch is of much updated one.

swlist -l product GOLD\*
will list the individual patches in the GOLD bundles. They are rereleased every few months. So the list of patches is not fixed.

But there could be other bundles or even individual patches installed as well. So you really need to do:
swlist -l product | more
and go through the whole list.

Here are some links that may help you:

Support Plus: Quality Pack Bundles

Support Plus: Information Library

The second page has a link to the README file for each recent bundle. That file lists all the patches in the bundle.
