  The issue is caused by the code change added to
  AbstractCatalogEntryMediator.java to address JR59703.
  The error is getting thrown because the null validation on
  field 'CatalogEntryTypeCode' are ignored when judging the
  catentry object type.
  Dataload would fail if no CatalogEntryTypeCode was provided.
  

Local fix

• A code fix is required.
  

Problem summary

• Dataload would fail if no CatalogEntryTypeCode was provided.
