Verify your configuration.

 

 

Unless you need to protect the traffic going from your F5 to your oracle boxes you should set the oracle boxes to serve http.

 

 

Then in your F5 you setup the port for https (TCP443 if you use default) which the F5 will do its ssl magic for. So the flow client <-> F5 is HTTPS (SSL) over TCP443 (or whatever port you choosed) and then the F5 will use HTTP for the flow F5 <-> Oracleboxes.

 

 

For this to you work I think you need to enable snatpool or snat automap. I also think you can in the http profile of F5 setup if it should redirect client to https (so the F5 listens on both TCP80 and TCP443 but then redirects any clients accessing TCP80, but this is often not needed for internal networks).
