Root Cause
This is a bug in the BusinessObjects IDT SemanticLayer (SL) SDK. It is related to the List Of Values (LOV) objects in SAP BusinessObjects Universe and cannot be fixed in the Talend Data Catalog code.
Solution
Report the issue to SAP.
Workaround
As a temporary workaround, edit the universe and delete or re-create the LOV objects.
