2395293 - DataTypeConversion Exception occours, when UNX universe used as a DataSource

Symptom

DataTypeConversion Exception occours, when an UNX Universe consumed by a frontend or client tool, where the BICS acting as the middle layer to access the UNX Universe(e.g. Design Studio - Edit Initial View).
There is no exception on the Query Panel, as it is only the Sematic Layer in the picture that time. The issue happens, as soon as BICS involved.

The issue persist, regardless from the used Database (Eg.: HANA, MSSQL, ..).

By setting the Log Level to DEBUGGING in the Client, the following Exception could be found:

!MESSAGE [BICS DSL] Exception of type com.businessobjects.dsl.services.dataprovider.impl.DataTypeConversionException occurred with message "You cannot convert <"Data Type"> into <"Data Type">.":
