BO 4.1 SP4 IDT - Not able to publish the Business layer onto the repository

Question

Hi All,
We are facing issues while publishing the Universe onto the repository. Just to give a background of the issue, we are connecting to Oracle 9i database from BO 4.1 SP4 Information Design Tool. We have client tools installed on one VM server and BO enterprise server on the other VM . I have installed Oracle 11g client 32 bit on the client tools server and 64 bit on BO Enterprise server. I can create a session to the BO server from the IDT tool successfully I have even created a secured connection published on SAP BO server which means there are no port issues.
I create the data foundation and business layer on IDT. I have created a test one with only two simple tables and do an integrity check and it works fine. When I publish the Universe, after I click the Finish button, it just freezes and doesnt get anything back for a long time. After that period, the finish button gets enabled again and if I check on the server, Universe is not published.
Based on the KB 1586166 - How to enable tracing for BI4.x client applications  I created two BO_Trace.ini file in the following directories:
C:\<user-dir>\.businessobjects\bimodeler_14\config
D:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\conf
I was getting the trace files earlier as well but I just changed to see if something happens. I I have a hs_error_pid4198 file created on monday, but it seems to be a java environment error file. I am not sure if its related. The trace I see on the InformationDesignTool_ncs file is
trc file: "InformationDesignTool_ncs.trc", trc level: 1, release: "720"

I am not seeing this error after I created the tracelog file .ini based on the KB mentioned. I have a trace file generated in the workspace folder but its 12MB size which I wont be able to post it here.
Any suggestions to resolve this error would be of great help.
