All the required database access is fine. Any pointers ?

Answer 1

You may try these steps:
You'll need to install the Microsoft Loopback adapter on the server.
Go to Device Manager.
Right-click on the computer name at the top of window and choose Add Legacy Hardware.
Click Next, then "Install the hardware I manually select from a list (Advanced)"
Scroll down and click Network adapters in the list of hardware types, and click Next.
A list of devices will appear in a few moments, and you should choose Microsoft on the left and Loopback adapter (see below)
Click Next and wait for the brief installation to complete.
You may also encounter similar symptoms (OID fails to start), and these error messages in your sqlnet.log file located in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\log:
Directory does not exist for read/write [D:\Oracle\IDM\Oracle_IDM1\log] []
To resolve this, simply create the directory log\diag\clients in %ORACLE_HOME%.
