Shalom,

swlist -l product -a install_date | sort -rn

That should get you the dates sorted. Some further modification may be required.

Bye.

swlist -l patch -a install_date | sort -rn

The swlist command is best to look at when a specific item was updated. For history of generic changes you would do best to review the logs. Start with the file /var/adm/sw/swinstall.log and if details are needed switch to /var/adm/sw/swagent.log.

A related swagent.log file also will exist at the root of any network depot and can identify who is using it.
