We are currently running Oracle*Financial (AOL & GL) MPL 9.3, Oracle V6.0.36, SQL*Forms 2.3 on UTS (Amdahl's Unix) 2.1.5.

Our Oracle Sales rep has told us that we would need to follow the following Migration path:

1. Upgrade Oracle*Financials to MPL 9.4 This version will support Oracle V6 and Oracle V7
2. Upgrade Oracle RDBMS to V7
3. Upgrade Oracle*Financials to MPL 10 MPL 10 will only be supported for Oracle V7.

I have also heard that Oracle*Financials MPL 10 applications will still use the  'hybrid' version of SQL*Forms 2.3 (aiap). The newer Oracle Applications (such as  Manufacturing) use pure SQL*Forms (V3+) from MPL 10.

Hope this helps
