Hello Renuka,

 From your screenshots I see that hyphenation for Russian works in general.

I suppose the reason is that you set language="ru" on the whole 
document, and this property is inherited down to the header line 
"DS3524SINCTRLSASPORTS1GCACHE", but this is not Russian! You are trying 
to hyphenate English text using Russian hyphenation rules, so 
character-based hyphenation algorithm does not find any points to break 
the line.

Assuming the header line contains a title which must never be 
translated, I would suggest to explicitly add language="en" on such titles.
