Backport Cognos Reports to Durable Model

Question

I have a lot of reports developed on a model that is modeled with a design language (en-zn) and active language (en-us). However, when these reports were developed the setting "Use Design Locale for Reference ID" was not set to "True." Therefore, these are not "durable" if I change an active language query subject item's name. How can I make these reports durable? I have already re-published the framework package with the setting "Use Design Locale for Reference ID" set to "True."

To make all reports "durable" you must re-build them by opening and re-dragging each query subject item into the report in place of the existing item. This resets the reference to the design language name. There is no easy way to do it. However, all future development will be durable.
