Unable to remove APAR -- any solution ?

UNIX AIX
1

Hello

I would like to remove the APARs

# instfix -ivk IY68989
IY68989 Abstract: write to mmapped space hangs

Fileset bos.mp:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
Fileset bos.mp64:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
All filesets for IY68989 were found.
# instfix -ivk IY73497
IY73497 Abstract: ftpd does not close Passive Connections

Fileset bos.net.tcp.client:5.3.0.30 is applied on the system.
All filesets for IY73497 were found

As both of them should be removed for Oracle to work. Those apars came preloaded with the system:

# oslevel -r
5300-08
# oslevel -s
5300-08-01-0819

I tried to remove them by

smitty reject

didn't work
and

smitty remove

gave me too many dependencies which cannot be removed

Any solution to remove them ?

Would deleting these files help ?

ORACLE SOLUTION:
RahulG :: Life is unpredictable , So never expect anything from it !!: ORA-01402 : no data found

I guess there is no way to remove it. I thought odmdelete would do the trick but it won't work with oracle.

Fileset dependencies can be found with:

 # lslpp -d <your.fileset.rte>

For uninstall deps use:

 # installp -ugp <your.fileset.rte>

To see whether a reboot is mandatory you can look into the .toc and check the fileset line for "b" (bosboot) or "N) (no bosboot). Example for a fileset that requires bosboot:

The only solution is to re-install the AIX but before you install the AIX make sure those APARs are not included in the ML TL levels of AIX

How do I know which problems have been fixed in this ML or TL?AIX Update CD contains a list of all APARs fixed in the 5300-04 TL package. You can get a list of these APARs by using the command:

 smitty list_media_fixes 

            How do I install the latest filesets \(by APAR, PTF, or fileset\)?To install selected updates, use the command:                 

 smitty update_by_fix 

                To install all updates, use the command:

                        smitty update_all

You seem to have an AIX 5.3 TL8 system and your Oracle install is asking you to remove some AIX 5.3 TL3 apars!

AIX 5.3 TL08 is already out of defect support and even AIX 5.3 will go end of service early next year.

I think you need a much newer version of Oracle and probably a never version of AIX too.
