Issue/Introduction

The below errors are continuously coming up in Tomcat logs:(SRM/AlarmHandler/bucketReader) (SRM_Alarms) - (ERROR) - Failed to add new alarmtitle record Caused by: org.springframework.dao.DataIntegrityViolationException: PreparedStatementCallback; SQL [INSERT INTO alarmtitle (cause_id, title) VALUES (?, ?)]; Data truncation: Data too long for column 'title' at row 1; nested exception is com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'title' at row 1

Cause

We get this error, because there was not enough space to save the Title in the Database from Report Manager "SQL [INSERT INTO Alarmtitle (cause_id, title) Values (?,?]; Data truncation: Data too long for column 'title' at row 1;" 

There is a process in SRM that is trying to save data into the Alarmtitle Column, but the data was bigger than that was allowed to save in that field. So basically the resolution is to increase the size of the Column in order to avoid this error.
