Getting Checkpoint failed, caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'job_data' at row 1

Currently by default the column "job_data" is created as BLOB data type. So in order to support checkpoints and wait/notify activities within MYSQL with BW 5.13, we have officially released hotfix-07. So with hotfix-07, we gave a script to create the table that uses LONGBLOB data type.

Workaround: Please take a DB back-up and then you need to modify/update the data type of the column "job_data" from BLOB to LONGBLOB.
