I have restarted all the services of application and database but the problem is same. I have also restarted the whole machine/server but still the same issue.

12/11/17 20:42:50 formsweb: Forms session <3> exception stack trace:

The above issue caused due to the incorrect version or missing of openmotif21 package.

Please check the oracle document 402310.1 Oracle Applications Installation and Upgrade Notes

in order to identify the missing RPM.

After installing the required RPM openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5 above problem has been resolved.

Download Required RPM from:
