In this case, opening port is of no use because your oracle might be using
other random self created ports temporary. Unless you use a sniffer to
capture all ports used and add them in the exception list, it will be a very
tedious way.

Another way is to add exception for application instead of ports. This will
allow the entire oracle apps to function rather than depend on ports used.
This is a better approach.

Just found a link quite similar to your case. Hope it helps.
