Role creation fails in OIM

Question

Hi,
I have configured OIM 11.1.1.5 with LDAP sync. I am able to create users in OIM and these users are created in OID. Changes made to user account in OID gets reflected in OIM.
However, when i create roles in OIM11g, it throws error but role gets created in OID.
trace from logs:
[2012-08-10T03:07:24.367+00:00] [oim_server1] [ERROR] [IAM-0042006] [oracle.iam.platform.entitymgr.provider.ldap] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '25' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: xelsysadm] [ecid: 11d1def534ea1be0:2559799b:1390e6ffc4a:-8000-000000000000115c,0] [APP: oim#11.1.1.3.0] An error occurred while looking up the entity in LDAP, and the corresponding error is - {0}[[

2561     RoleCreateLDAPPreProcessHandler     PREPROCESS     FAILED     true     oracle.iam.platform.kernel.EventFailedException: Failed to execute the handler.
not sure as why the event handler is failing.
please suggest.
Thanks

On further observation found that orclobjectguid for users and roles is not being set in OID. However in the oim profile, i am able to see the ldapguid for users. In the RA_LDAPUSERS and RA_LDAPROLE table, value for orclobjectguid is null due to which there is no linking.
