Accepted answer
Have you tried connecting to your Oracle through DBeaver?
I would check what a Test Connection in DBeaver showed.
I suspect the vendor major and minor version comes through the JDBC driver.
As Ralph already commented, EWM 6.0.6 went out of service on 2022-10-31 as detailed in https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/collaborative-lifecycle-management-end-support-dates-60x.
I highly recommend that you upgrade to 7.0.2. Neither 6.0.6 nor 6.0.6.1 are being remediated for security vulnerabilities, and that includes the well-known issues around log4j.

If you use an unsupported database version, this is unlikely to have been tested. If there are issues, and you may not know what those might be, you will be largely on your own. As I said, use at your own risk.That database version check is there to validate that a supported database version (one that has been tested) is being used.
Why are you not upgrading to 7.0.2?
If you want to be on a supported version with well-defined system requirements, and with security vulnerabilities being remediated, that's the way to go.
Thank you again.

As far as I can tell, EWM 6.0.6 is no longer supported. I can not tell, which version of Oracle 6.0.6 supports, but given its age I would think probably not the latest and greatest version.
The system requirements for the latest version can be found on the getting started page here.
The newest version supports 19C 19.3 and later fixpacks..
