Error description
The pivot table download script fails with a truncated data error because the SchemaGenerator tool doesn't read the actual column size from the LSW_BPD_INSTANCE_VARIABLES table. Instead, it uses a hard-coded 512 column size when creating the LSW_BPD_INSTANCE_VARS_PIVOT table so that the script will cause the DataLoad tool to fail if the size of the value inserted into the column exceeds 512 characters when the DataLoad tool runs to populate the pivot table. You see this stack trace: Jul 10, 2018 6:21:51 PM FINE: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException - *** SQLException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: String or binary data would be truncated.

Local fix
Increase the size of the generated column in LSW_BPD_INSTANCE_VARS_PIVOT to match the size in lsw_bpd_instance_variables. Run SQL command ALTER TABLE bpmadmin.LSW_BPD_INSTANCE_VARS_PIVOT ALTER COLUMN [variableName] NVARCHAR(newSize) where variableName is the instance variable with value in "STRING_VALUE" column which exceeds 512 characters and newSize is the size that will accommodate the instance variable (ie. 1024).
Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix that ensures the SchemaGenerator tool reads the actual column size of the string values from LSW_BPD_INSTANCE_VARIABLES table instead of using a hard-coded 512 size will be available in a future release of IBM Business Automation Workflow.
