    Retrieving http://cgli438a/rpms/gioes-accounts-scripts-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
    error: failed dependencies:
            rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 is needed by gioes-accounts-scripts-1.0-6
            rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1 is needed by gioes-accounts-scripts-1.0-6

    All these RPMs mostly just contain korn shell scripts.

    Do I need to make changes in how the rpm i built or is something required on the target server.

    This is most likely a problem with rpm compatibility between your build server (redhat rhel 7 server ) and AIX. These rpmlib features in the output might not have satisfied by the AIX rpm.

    What version of rpm you have in the AIX machines ?

    rpm --version 

    And execute "rpm --showrc" to list the features supported by rpmlib
