Migration of server database to a different database system

Some years ago a customer began adopting UrbanCode Deploy using DB2 as database system, but he doesn't have skills on DB2.
Now he wants to enlarge his adoption upgrading UrbanCode Deploy to an HA configuration, he already has Oracle RAC and also he has Oracle skills.
The customer needs to migrate the UrbanCode Deploy DB from DB2 to Oracle.

In the UCD installation package exists the procedure "migrate-database.sh" that is also documented in the section "Migrating the server database" on Knowledge Center: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS4GSP_7.0.5/com.ibm.udeploy.install.doc/topics/migrate_database.html
In a test environment we have used successfully the migration procedure to migrate a UCD DB from DB2 10.5 to Oracle 19.3, but on KC the following statement is reported:
"The server installation files include a script that migrates the server database from Derby to another database system. You can not migrate from any database other than Derby."

The request is to support the existing procedure migrating from DB others than Derby or to provide different scripts to migrate from DB2 to Oracle.
