As per Dennis suggestion, I have tried to repair archive using below command
usr/ccs/bin/ar -rs libOcpUtil.a,

But still I’m getting same below error while compiling executable:

ld: (Warning) Cannot load library symnbol table in /tfsw/ocp/src/baseline/util/libOcpUtil.a, it might be missing or corrupted. Skipping library /tfsw/ocp/src/
baseline/util/libOcpUtil.a.

Please suggest what else can be done to compile executable?

Hmm, I'm not able to create a corrupt archive lib so I can test -rs.

You can always extract the objects and recreate the archive:
mkdir SUB
cd SUB
/usr/ccs/bin/ar -x ../libX.a
/usr/ccs/bin/ar -cr ../libY.a *.o
cd ..
rm -rf SUB
