Subodh,

This is not really a question of accuracy.  All of these tools serve
different purposes.  The patchsets.sh script simply tells you what family
packs and minipacks are installed on your system, and whether there are
updated versions.  You didn't mention how you are using the OAM patch
wizard, so those results are less clear.  If you were using it to evaluate a
patch and determine its prerequisites, then the patch wizard is probably
just doing its job: telling you that patch 4229931 (AD.I.2) is a
prerequisite for another patch.  The OAM patch wizard won't necessarily
ignore a prerequisite if it's already installed.

Regards,

John P.
