Shalom,

What oracle is telling you seems to be one of the following:
1) The TZ setting on the HP-UX and Windows 2003 time server disagree.
2) The TZ setting in the oracle product is wrong.

If you are sure about #1, look into the cause of #2

/home/oracle/OracleHomes_1/agent10g/sysman/config/emd.properties

What does this produce:
echo $TZ
date; date -u

This is NOT a valid timezone for HP-UX. You need a name and then the number and an optional DST name. See /usr/lib/tztab for examples.
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/tztab.4.html
For India it would be: export TZ=IST-5:30

>#date; date -u
Wed Jul 23 11:16:02 EDT 2008
Wed Jul 23 15:16:02 UTC 2008

Since you don't have a valid timezone it defaults to EST/EDT. And your system's clock is 8! hours ahead of the proper time, assuming you didn't delay posting your reply too much:
Jul 23, 2008 07:15:22 GMT
(Your UTC time should match the GMT time.)

Thanks Dennis,
Sorry for late reply am just hangedup with other issues.For Time zone settings I had set export TZ=GMT+4 in oracle user .profile.

Again this is the wrong format for timezones on HP-UX. The only timezone with the characters "GMT" is "GMT0". You must NOT use this format because:
1) This is somewhere in Brazil?
2) The date command will tell you the time is GMT but you are really in some other zone.

So you should use the proper timezone name or make one up.
Four hours ahead of UTC is either Moscow or Dubai. So those would be:
MOS-3MOSD-4 or DUB-4

If you are really in Brazil, then something like: BST4
