Do you have any data in the ARCHIVEFROMFORM column?  If not then you should be 
safe.  Since we did not use archiving all we had to do was make sure it was 
empty   
We are on Linux as well and there was a few small issues going from 6.3  to 
7.6.04 

Here is the script we used to correct them
    truncate table ALERT_USER;  
    commit;
    -- Since no one can be logged in to the Alert tool while the upgrade is 
going on it seemed a good time to clear the list

    -- Backup FIELD_ENUM
    Create Table FWG_FIELD_ENUM as
    select * from FIELD_ENUM;
    commit;
    Update FIELD_ENUM set ENUMSTYLE = NULL;
    COMMIT;
    ALTER TABLE FIELD_ENUM MODIFY (ENUMSTYLE NUMBER(15));
    COMMIT;
    Update Field_ENUM f
    Set ENUMSTYLE = (
       Select ENUMSTYLE from FWG_FIELD_ENUM
       Where SCHEMAID=f.SCHEMAID and FIELDID=f.FIELDID)
    Where  exists (Select ENUMSTYLE from FWG_FIELD_ENUM
       Where SCHEMAID=f.SCHEMAID and FIELDID=f.FIELDID);
    Commit;

    -- Backup FILTER_NOTIFY
    Create Table FWG_FILTER_NOTIFY as
    select * from FILTER_NOTIFY;
    Commit;
    Update FILTER_NOTIFY set BEHAVIOR = NULL, PERMISSION=NULL;
    Commit;
    ALTER TABLE FILTER_NOTIFY MODIFY (BEHAVIOR NUMBER(15), PERMISSION 
NUMBER(15) );
    COMMIT;
    Update FILTER_NOTIFY set BEHAVIOR = 0, PERMISSION=0;
    Commit;

    -- Backup SCHEMA_ARCHIVE
    Create Table FWG_SCHEMA_ARCHIVE as
    select * from SCHEMA_ARCHIVE;
    Commit;
    Update SCHEMA_ARCHIVE
    set ARCHIVEFROMFORM=NULL;
    Commit;


In order to speed up the upgrade I truncated the Flashboards historical server 
statistics data   
    -- Flashboards  209 = FB_CUMULATIVESERVERSTATISTICS, 210 = 
FB_NONCUMULATIVESERVERSTATISTI
    Truncate Table T209 Drop Storage;
    Truncate Table H209 Drop Storage;
    Truncate Table B209 Drop Storage;
    Truncate Table T210 Drop Storage;
    Truncate Table H210 Drop Storage;
    Truncate Table B210 Drop Storage;

These forms were converted to Vendor Forms (We didn't use Flashboards so I 
could just drop them and the upgrade created the new Vendor ones)
    FB:Alarm Monitor    
    FB:DataSourceVariables   
    FB:Flashboards   
    FB:Variable   
    FB:Variable Attributes

I just looked and that column in our linux Ora10g  Schema_archive table is a 
varchar2(254) with no “not null” constraint.  I don’t think I’m going to change 
it to a number(15) not null column before I try the upgrade since this may be a 
Solaris only issue.  If the upgrade bombs then I’ll look over the install log 
and see if it’s something I should address.

Thanks for the heads up though.

Nope, SW00327170 is on BMC.
I see how you could have thought it was on Oracle...  :-)
