Problem using discussion on folder

Question

Hi,
        I wanted to enable discussion service on a folder. To start a discussion on a folder, i click on colloboration tab (in details iview of folder) and clicked on "start a discussion".I get a discussion post iview( without subject space) instead of discussion topic iview(with subject line), as i'm creating discussion for the first time on that folder.
       Later, if i continue with the dicussion post, after creating the discussion post i get a message "You do not have permission to access this discussion".
       Please let me know if any prerequisite settings to be configured before using discussion service and how do i enable discussion service on folder. I'm using NW04 SPS 16 patch 3 and i'm trying to enable discussion service for a folder which is present in my own repository.

Hi Vineeth,
I unchecked the "No topics" option available in "discussion_simple"  present under Repository_services->Discussion_service and did a restart of the server. Now i get the option of "Discussion Topic" with the subject field when click "start a discussion" for a folder. I'm able to create a discussion, but i cannot acess the discussion and i get the same error "you do not have acess permission". Do i need to mention the repository name somewhere for the discussion service and any permission sets for my repository because the discussion service works fine on any folder created on instance CMrepostitory provided by SAP (i.e documents->news->Myfolder).
