SOLUTION

Use the code below:

$('body').tooltip({
   selector: 'td.details-control',
   title: 'Click to expand',
   container: 'body',
   placement: 'right'
});

/* Formatting function for row details - modify as you need */
function format ( d ) {
    // `d` is the original data object for the row
    return '<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="padding-left:50px;">'+
        '<tr>'+
            '<td>Full name:</td>'+
            '<td>'+d.name+'</td>'+
        '</tr>'+
        '<tr>'+
            '<td>Extension number:</td>'+
            '<td>'+d.extn+'</td>'+
        '</tr>'+
    '</table>';
}
 
$(document).ready(function() {
  
  $('body').tooltip({
    selector: 'td.details-control',
    title: 'Click to expand',
    container: 'body',
    placement: 'right'
  });  
  
    var data = [{"name":"Tiger Nixon","position":"System Architect","salary":"$320,800","start_date":"2011/04/25","office":"Edinburgh","extn":"5421"},{"name":"Garrett Winters","position":"Accountant","salary":"$170,750","start_date":"2011/07/25","office":"Tokyo","extn":"8422"},{"name":"Ashton Cox","position":"Junior Technical Author","salary":"$86,000","start_date":"2009/01/12","office":"San Francisco","extn":"1562"}];
  
    var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
        "data": data,
        "columns": [

           $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]', row).tooltip();
        }
    } );
     
    // Add event listener for opening and closing details
    $('#example tbody').on('click', 'td.details-control', function () {
        var tr = $(this).closest('tr');
        var row = table.row( tr );
 
        if ( row.child.isShown() ) {
            // This row is already open - close it
            row.child.hide();
            tr.removeClass('shown');
        }
        else {
            // Open this row
            row.child( format(row.data()) ).show();
            tr.addClass('shown');
            
            $('[data-toggle="tooltip"]', tr.next('tr')).tooltip();
        }
    } );
 
} );
