Has anyone else experienced Report Builder output incorrectly cutting off attribute text.

Answer in bold underline
1. What data source (DWH or LQE) are you using? DWH
2. What database are you using? DOORS Next Generation Requirements Managment
3. In what application and what attribute do you see this problem? String
4. How many characters are shown in RB, and how many actually in the source application? cutoffs are around 250 - 255 characters in length on report builder, varying lengths > 255 characters at source.
For example (DWH), number of maximum characters for RTC workitem is 255 for name and 1024 for summary attribute by default. This is the size allocated in the database.

Verifying further,,, I find there is no such String (L) custom attribute in Requirement. There is only one String type in RM requirement, and it uses RQRMENT_STRING_EXT (maximum 255) in DW. This is the cause.
It looks like this is a known issue and the workaround is to extend the size of VAL column in RICALM.RQRMENT_STRING_EXT to 1024 or whatever needed. Then run full DCC job to reload the data. If your database is on premise, then report it to your DB admin. If your database is in cloud, then create a ticket to IBM or Zendesk to ask for it.
