I need to show my 3rd column only 8 characters. If the data has more than 20 characters i should show with Dots ...
Example : ABCDEFGH...

i defined the render function like below. Still no luck!!!
'ColumnDefs': [{ data: 'description', render: $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis(10), "targets": [2] }],

'ColumnDefs': [{ data: 'description', render: $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis(10), "targets": [2] }],

The problem is likely the ColumnDefs option. It should be columnDefs with a lower case c. The options are case sensitive.
