Please stop
The migration guide has step by step instructions, including command line examples, are you using that as your reference?
Your upgrade should be to (at a minimum) DSEE 6.3.1.1.1. Upgrading to 6.0 is upgrading to a release level that has no patches or fixes to the product. There are significant fixes to the migration command line tools. There is a good chance you will run into issues.
You should install and review migration to ODSEE 11.1.1.7.0 (which would effectively be the 7.2 release of the DS).
There is a specific guide for migration and upgrade, which includes migration from DS 5.2 to 11.x
The full documentation collection for 11.1.1.7.0 is here

The specific migration guide is here

See: Part II Migrating from ODSEE 5.2 to ODSEE 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
ODSEE 11.1.1.7.0 can be downloaded from here.
