If you are running in to this issue:
-- Set the value of the System Property mxe.report.cognos.useAliasTableName to 1.
-- In Cognos, check the SQL used for each report in whereFilter SQL. Most reports will have alias with 0 suffix (such as ASSET0 for ASSET) for the base table in the whereFilter SQL.
-- In some cases, the suffix may not be present or may be a number other than 0. The actual alias should be entered to REPORT.COGNOSALIAS column for the report in Manage database, using a SQL tool.
