Using smitty, you can select the wanted operation without running it,
instead
and at the last step press F6 to get the corresponding command or script.

installp -acXgd <install_dir> will appply, commit, install requisites
and extend the filesystems as required.

This may not help but I thought I would post this anyway:

Update Installed Software to Latest Level from the Command Line

The install_all_updates command updates installed system software
to the latest level that is on the media and verifies the current
recommended maintenance level.

Beginning in AIX 5L Version 5.2 with the 5200-01 Recommended
Maintenance package, if you select the option to install all
devices and kernels during a BOS installation, then during
subsequent update_all processing, any new devices.* filesets
are installed from the installation media. This option can
be turned off by setting the ALL_DEVICES_KERNELS variable
in the /var/adm/ras/bosinst.data file to no.

If the ALL_DEVICES_KERNELS variable is set to no, the
install_all_updates command does not install any filesets
that are present on the installation media but not installed
on the system, unless these filesets are installed as
requisites of other selected filesets.

For installp images, all installp requisites are enforced.

The following example shows how to install all installp
updates on the /dev/cd0 device and to verify the current
recommended maintenance level:

# install_all_updates -d /dev/cd0
For more information about the install_all_updates command,
refer to the AIX 5L Version 5.2 Commands Reference
