writeback feature is not working even after following all the necessary steps

Hello Experts,
Oracle Business Intelligence Version 11.1.1.7.150120.
We have a requirement to enable writeback feature, for that we have followed all the necessary steps to enable that as follows.
RPD LEVEL:-
Step 1:Physical Layer - From Physical Table Properties Go to-> General tab dialog box. Uncheck Cacheable
Step 2: Business Model & Mapping Layer - Logical Column Properties Go to-> General tab. Check Writable option.
Step 3: Presentation Layer - Presentation Column Properties Go to-> General tab -> Permissions -> Set permission -> Read / Write (Radio Button), on the User / Application Role which you want to authenticate for WriteBack feature.
Step 4: Presentation Layer - Go to -> Manage-> Identity Manager -> Identity Management (Left pane) -> Select Application Role (to which you need Write Back Permission) -> Permission -> Query Limits (tab) -> Select Database (to which you need direct database execution rights) -> Change option from ignore to allow to the field named "Execute Direct Database Requests".
Configuration Level:-
Step 1: Enable Write Back. Add the LightWriteback tag within the serverinstance tag of instanceconfig.xml file ( file path - $ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1 )
<WebConfig xmlns="oracle.bi.presentation.services/config/v1.1">
<ServerInstance>
<LightWriteback>true</LightWriteback>
</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
Step:2
created Writeback templet as mentioned in the oracle documentation and placed under
$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bifoundation/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/coreapplication_obips1/analyticsRes/customMessages
Changes in Analytics :
Step 1: Give Privilege to the Role for Write Back: Write back to database ( Administration -> Manage Privilege -> Write Back & add the role for writeback privilege).
And then Restarted all the services.
but still Writeback Radio button is not enabled for WriteBack Columns, under column properties --> Writeback Tab.
Please provide your valuable suggestions to proceed further.

Strange behavior, steps looks correct and not aware of any WriteBack issues on 11.1.1.7.150120,could you Re-verify your steps from below KM document or video link.

Only thing I could think of is that your analyticsRes isn't exposed through a deployment and hence the system can't navigate to the file.
IF it is properly exposed you have to be able to navigate to the file using a URL like:
http://yourserver:yourport/analyticsRes/customMessages/yourwritebacktemplate.xml
