BODS 4.2 Upgrade Issue - Template XML Targets

Upgrading from 4.0 to 4.2. Copied central repo from sql srv 2008 to 2014, upgraded, etc and can connect just fine. Issue I am having is with getting latest on objects from central repo with embedded dataflows with template xml target - they fail. I noticed in 4.2 that they look different…anyone have any ideas? I would hate to have to modify several hundred of these. Thanks.

We are experiencing the same issue here. I am opening an incident with SAP.
