Convert 2byte Unicode inside of XI 2.0 into 1byte ascii
Hi,
does anyone know if there is the possibility inside of XI 2.0 to convert 2byte Unicode into 1byte ascii?
We are sending IDOCs from an UC R/3 system down to XI 2.0 and from
there to a MS-SQL db through JDBC Adapters. Unfortunately the MS-SQL db cannot handle UC.
Thanks and regards

Duhh....
Here's the code I ended up using, in case others are having the same question.
byte[] b = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("ABC");
blob.Write(b,0,b.Length);

Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string datatypes
My source is having 3 fields :
ItemCode nvarchar(50)

HI Subu ,
there is some information gap , what is your source ? are there any transformation in between ?
If its SQL server source and destination and the datatype is as you have mentioned I dont think you should be getting such errors ... to be sure check advance properties of your source and check metada of your source columns
just check simple oledb source as
SELECT TOP 1 ItemCode = cast('111' as nvarchar(50)),DivisionCode = cast('222' AS nvarchar(50)), Salesplan = cast(3.3 As float) FROM sys.sysobjects
and destination as you mentioned ... it should work ...
somewher in your package the source columns metadata is not right .. and you need to convert it or fix the source.
Hope that helps

Hello,
I am working on one project and there is need to extract Sharepoint list data and import them to SQL Server table. I have few lookup columns in the list.
Steps in my Data Flow :
Sharepoint List Source
Derived Column
its formula : SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1))
Data Conversion
OLE DB Destination
But I am getting the error of not converting between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I am not sure what I am missing here.
In Data Conversion, what should be the Data Type for the Look up column?
Please suggest here.
Thank you,
Mittal.You have a data conversion transformation. Now, in the destination are you assigning the results of the derived column transformation or the data conversion transformation. To avoid this error you need use the data conversion output.
You can eliminate the need for the data conversion with the following in the derived column (creating a new column):
(DT_STR,100,1252)(SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)))
The 100 is the length and 1252 is the code page (I almost always use 1252) for interpreting the string.

Column "A" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types
I am following the SSIS overview video-
https://secure.cbtnuggets.com/it-training-videos/series/microsoft-sql-server-2008-business-development/6143?autostart=true
I have a flat file that i want to import the contents onto a SQL database.
I created a Dataflow task, source file and oledb destination.
I am getting the folliwung error -
"column "A" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types"
in the origin file the data type is coming as string[DT_STR] and in the destination object it is coming as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]"
I used a data conversion object in between, dosent works very well
Please help what to doI see this often.
Right Click on FlatFileSource --> Show Advanced Editor --> 'Input and Output Properties' tab --> Expand 'Flat File Source Output' --> Expand 'Output Columns' --> Select your field and set the datatype to DT_WSTR.
Let me know if you still have issues.
Thank You,

Column cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types
I am converting SSIS jobs from SQL Server 2005 running on a Windows 2003 server to 2008R2 running on a Windows 2008 server. I have a dataflow with an OLE DB Source which is selecting from an Oracle view. This of course worked fine in
2005. This OLE DB Source will not even read the data from Oracle without the error "Column "UWI" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode. The select is:
SELECT SOME_VIEW.UWI AS UWI,
CAST(SOME_VIEW.OIL_NET AS NUMERIC(9,8)) AS OIL_NET
FROM SOME_SCHEMA.SOME_VIEW
WHERE OIL_NET IS NOT NULL AND UWI IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY UWI
When I do "Show Advanced Editor" on this component, in the Input and Output Properties, I show the OLE DB External Column as DT_STR length 40 for the UWI column and for the Output Columns I see the UWI as the same DT_STR.
How can I get past this? I have tried doing a cast...cast(SOME_VIEW.UWI AS VARCHAR(40)) AS UWI and this gives the same error. The column in Oracle is a varchar2(40).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.Please check the data type for UWI using advanced editor for Oledb Source under
external columns and output columns. Are the data types same?
If not, try changing the data type (underoutput columns) same as data type shown under
external columns

Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I'm trying to copy the data from 21 tables in a SQL 2005 database to a MS Access database using SSIS. Before converting the SQL database from 2000 to 2005 we had this process set up as a DTS package that ran every month for years with no problem. The only way I can get it to work now is to delete all of the tables from the Access DB and have SSIS create new tables each time. But when I try to create an SSIS package using the SSIS Import and Export Wizard to copy the SQL 2005 data to the same tables that SSIS itself created in Access I get the "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types" error message. The first few columns I hit this problem on were created by SSIS as the Memo datatype in Access and when I changed them to Text in Access they started to work. The column I'm stuck on now is defined as Text in the SQL 2005 DB and in Access, but it still gives me the "cannot convert" error.
I was getting same error while tranfering data from SQL 2005 to Excel , but using following method i was able to tranfer data. Hopefully it may also help you.
1) Using Data Conversion transformation
data types you need to select is DT_WSTR (unicode in terms of SQL: 2005)
2) derived coloumn transformation
expression you need to use is :
(DT_WSTR, 20) (note : 20 can be replace by your character size)
Note:
Above teo method create replica of your esting coloumn (default name will be copy of <coloumn name>).
while mapping data do not map actual coloumn to the destination but select the coloumn that were created by any of above data transformer (replicated coloumn). -

How to convert the data decoded by MJPEG Decoder MFT into RGB32
I try to play .avi file(Motion JPEG) with MJPEG Decoder MFT and
My ColorConverter MFT to convert into RGB32 by using the Media Foundation.
The output format of MJPEG Decoder MFT is YUY2.
So, I implemented My ColorConverter MFT to convert YUY2 into RGB32.
I set the topology to play .avi file and to convert into RGB32.
But I got a MEError event with ME_ARITHMETIC_OVERFLOW in
IMFMediaEvent->GetStatus(&hrStatus)); after the event MESessionTopologyStatus.
So,the file isn't started to play.
The created topology is follow.
Source-> MJPEG Decoder MFT -> My ColorConverter MFT -> EVR
Format: YUY2
RGB32
Why do the error occur in processing to convert the data decoded by MJPEG Decoder MFT
into RGB32?
Please tell me a appropriate way to convert the data decoded by MJPEG Decoder MFT
into RGB32.You've got the High Speed Data Reader.vi as a starting point. That will retrieve the binary data and plot it on a chart. From the array of sgl's created, you could then use the Write to Spreadsheet File.vi to create a comma or tab separated file. The other option is to write the data straight to Excel using ActiveX. There's a shipping example that shows how that's done as well.

Convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs
I am trying to convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs, with the series having the same formatting as in the graph when all series are together.
Normally, if I delete any series, the color scheme for all the other series vanishes. I can then waste more time in having to re-adjust the color and shape of the series, but this is tedious. This, I do not want. Is there an automated way to do this?
Ideally, of course, all series would appear in little subsections in the space of the former one graph, all with individual axes, but I can't have all, so I'll settle with having several individual new graphs, each with just one series, and with the original
formatting.
Thx.How about creating a copy of the chart, and then setting all series except one to be transparent (no line, no marker)? Repeat for each series.

We are planning to upgrade 3.0B to 3.5, in this process we wanted to know:
Our R/3 Source System is 4.6C with MDMP, when we extract data which contains double byte languages, it causes an error in the BW system, thus we are unable to read the data. Will converting to a UNICODE DB (Oracle) resolve this issue?Sorry Karl for not giving you a real answer, but at this moment I've never been involved in your situation and I haven't personal experience on this topic, so I think that a good document (that I can't read for myself to then give you a real answer simply cause I've a lot of things to do, other than trying help someone here ) is better than nothing (especially if you will be able to find a solution inside it !!!)
Good luck (or maybe someone else can give you a definitive contribution!)...

Problem in converting the unicode to local language
Hi all,
i am trying to convert unicode char to my local language and print it on label but i am not getting the proper output.
the code is given below
package test;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class KanProp extends Frame{
Locale lcl;
ResourceBundle resbdl;
Label lbl;
public KanProp(){
setLayout(null);
setSize(400,400);
lcl =new Locale("kn","IN");
resbdl=ResourceBundle.getBundle("LocalStrings_kn",lcl);
String str=resbdl.getString("Name");
lbl=new Label();
lbl.setFont(new Font("JanaKannada",Font.BOLD,24));
lbl.setBounds(0,100,100,20);
lbl.setText(str);
add(lbl);
setVisible(true);
static public void main(String[] args) {
new KanProp();
} // main
} // classand i am reading a key (ie Name) from the .properties file
can any one please give me the solution?1. Square box means font does not have a glyph to render your char, or
2. Label is not a lightweight component and may strongly depend on OS - it may result in problems with changing font or using non-OS native characters. Try move to Swing and use JLabel.
3. Try to hardcode unicode text in your source - use editor which supports UTF-8 format and add -encoding UTF-8 in javac command line. This will show if there is any problem with reading resource. -
Convertion from Unicode to UTF8
I want to convert some string having Unicode chars into a string with UTF8 char. I used following code snippet:
try {
String str = new String(givenString);
String utfStr = new String(str.getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8");
System.out.println("Converted:" + str + " to:" + utfStr);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
I also tried :
Charset utf8Charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
CharsetEncoder encoder = utf8Charset.newEncoder();
CharsetDecoder decoder = utf8Charset.newDecoder();
ByteBuffer bbuf = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(givenString));
CharBuffer cbuf = decoder.decode(bbuf);
String dest = cbuf.toString();
When Java tries to encode Unicode to UTF-8 and it runs into an unknown character (typically a character that is in the High Ascii range) it substitutes it with '?' or some other wierd character.
How do I prevent this.Where is this string coming from? Are you initializing it in your source code as a String literal? String str = "A�roport Princesse B�atrix"; If so, you need to make sure the .java file is saved in an encoding that can handle all of the characters. ISO-8859-1, windows-1252, and of course, UTF-8 will all suffice. You also need to make sure the compiler reads the source file with the correct encoding. For example, if you saved your source files as UTF-8, you would do this: javac -encoding UTF-8 *.java Finally, before you print the text to the console, you need to make sure the console is using an encoding that can handle it. On my WinXP box, the default encoding (or codepage, as they call it) for console windows is cp437, which doesn't support accented characters. You can change it with the "chcp" command, like so: chcp 1252 Unfortunately, chcp won't accept UTF-8 or any other Unicode encoding, but cp1252 can handle the accented characters in your string. Note that you don't need to specify that encoding in your code; the Java runtime detects it automatically.
>
If you see question marks or some other placeholder character when viewing output, that's probably because the terminal or whatever doesn't have the fonts available to render those characters.>
No, question marks always indicate an encoding problem. If the character is valid but the font lacks a glyph for it, it shows up as a little rectangle. -
Errors in PDF converter for Unicode systems
