Power BI-Direct Query not working

Hi,

 

I have power BI Desktop 64 Bit installed and had Oracle 11g client installed orginally. For Direct query to work I installed Oracle12c Client 64bit. I gave the Oracle 12c Home in path and TNS Admin configured for it yet Power BI Direct query does not work. I get the below message when I try connecting to Oracle DB. Please advise.
