Reports with Master-Detail Relationship fail with Teradata 13

Reports with Master/Detail relationships failed after the Teradata was upgraded from version 12 to version 13. The reports fail with the following error.
 
Symptom
"An error occurred while performing operation 'sqlPrepareWithOptions' status='-239'. UDA-SQL-0460 A general exception has occurred during local
processing.UDA-EE-0036 The operator must be an expression, not "".
 

Resolving the problem
Backup and edit the original cognos/c8/bin/cogdmod_td.ini file and insert the following line at the bottom:
[DRIVER:TDATA32.DLL VERSION:13.00]
SQL_API_SQLDESCRIBEPARAM="FALSE"

Save and restart the cognos service(s)
If multi-server install, then add the above line to all Dispatcher Machines as well and restart.
Note: This is also true of Teradata 13.10. The Driver version number must specify 13.10.
Example:

[DRIVER:TDATA32.DLL VERSION:13.10]
SQL_API_SQLDESCRIBEPARAM="FALSE"

How can you extract all user information from Cognos Access Manager Namespace Report Utility and create Cognos Report out of it?

The AM_NamespaceReport Utility allows you to extract the namespace to an XML file. 1. Use the AM_NamespaceReport Utility to extract all users from the namespace to an XML file. am_namespacereport -h > -p > -r > -n > -D > -w > -f all -o > e.g am_namespacereport -h cognoscamsevr -p 4004 -r o=cognos.com –n devcam -D admin -w admin -f all -o c:\temp\usrlst.xml 2. This will extract all user information to an XML file 3. Import the xml file into XLS spread sheet 4. Create ODBC connection using the ms-excel spread sheet driver 5. Create Data Source Connection and proceed creating FM Model & Publish 6. Create Report using Report Studio. 7. Save & Share the report The Access Manager Administration Guide (Appendix A) contains further information on this functionality.
