External definition and used them as Data Type Templates

hi all
how to Develop external definition and used them as Data Type Templates .
Thank u
Swari

HI
External Definitions: If a definition of the message structure exists in wsdl, xsd, dtd formats, we can use it in the integration repository by importing it as an external definition.
External Definations:
An external definition enables you to import a local WSDL, XSD, or DTD file to the Integration Repository and specify which parts of the schema to extract as the description for a message. You can use these extracted message schema as:
Output or input messages in message interfaces
Source or target structures for message mappings
There is a series of standard schema for describing the message structure at runtime. WSDL (Web Service Description Language), XSD (XML Schema Definition Language), or DTDs (Document Type Definitions) are often used to describe message schema. If a description of the message structure already exists in one of the above formats, you can use it in the Integration Repository by importing it as an external definition rather than re-entering it manually using the data type editor.

SSIS Package : While Extracting Sharepoint Lookup column, getting error 'Cannnot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types'

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.

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 fix "cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types" :/

Environment: SQL Server 2008 R2
Introduction:Staging_table is a table where data is being stored from source file. Individual and ind_subject_scores are destination tables.
Purpose: To load the data from a source file .csv while SSIS define table fields with 50 varchar, I can still transfer the data to the entity table/ destination and keeping the table definition.
I'm getting validation error "Cannot convert between a unicode and a non-unicode string data types" for all the columns.
Please help

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."<sup>1</sup>
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

Problem importing two service interfaces using the same data types

Hi,
I've been playing around with BPM for a while. Now I wanted to add a custom service interface to my starting event. I created the interface in ESR of CE 7.11. After importing I get this error message and I can't use the interface:
Cannot change XsdSimpleTypeDefinition AcademicTitleCodeContent by importing the document http://sap.com/xi/APPL/SE/Global::src/wsdl/TestInterface.wsdl, because it is already defined in the document http://sap.com/xi/APPL/SE/Global::src/wsdl/rootwsdl_CustomerERPByIDQueryResponse_InService.wsdl in this project. Importing into another project might be possible.
Of course the problem is clear, but how can I achieve importing two service interfaces that use the same data type without changing the xsd source?
Thanks in advance,
Mane

Sorry for the late answer, but I am really busy at the moment.
Unfortunately I can't the Interface and data types are already changed.
But this happened various times. Each time I already had imported a SAP Enterprise Service into NW BPM that contains a bunch of inline data types. While creating my own interface I referenced one of those data types that are stored in a SAP namespace. After import the error message appeared.
In the wsdl of the created interface there is a import statement for the namespace where the referenced data types origin from. Additionally there is a namespace definition xmlns:p1="SAPnamespace". In the element the type is "p1:ReferencedType". Could this maybe cause the error, because one time it is with this leading p1 in my created wsdl and once without in the SAP Service wsdl?
Thanks and I am looking forward to next EhP of NW BPM,
Mane

Definition and use of Warehouse Request and Warehouse Order in WM

Can any one please give me the definition and use of Warehouse Request and Warehouse Order in warehouse management?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nagi Reddy

As per my understanding :
Warehouse request is similar to transfer of requirements.
Warehouse Order is similar to Transfer Orders.
If iam not wrong pls go through this...
Transfer Requirement Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
Definition
This is a document that serves to plan goods movements using the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
By differentiating between the planning and execution of a goods movement, you can recognize immediately whether a goods movement needs to be still executed (transfer requirement is open), is currently being executed (transfer order is created), or is completed ( transfer order is confirmed).
Use
On the one hand, transfer requirements are used to pass on information on goods movements that are posted in Inventory Management (MM-IM) to the Warehouse Management System (WMS). You can, however, also use transfer requirements for the following purposes:
    To initiate goods movements in WMS
    To initiate material replenishment for production storage bins in the production supply areas using the Production Planning (PP) component
    To call up transfer requirement reports in order to get an overview of all pending goods movements
On the basis of existing transfer requirements, the Warehouse Management System creates transfer orders, which, in turn, serve to execute the physical goods movements in the warehouse.
The system updates the transfer requirement:
    When you create, confirm or cancel a transfer order
    When you cancel a goods receipt or goods issue posting in Inventory Management (MM-IM) before the respective transfer order was generated in the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
In this case, the system automatically reduces the transfer requirement quantity by the quantity to be canceled, or it deletes the transfer requirement altogether if the entire requirement quantity is to be canceled.
Structure
A transfer requirement consists of a transfer requirement header with general information and one or several transfer requirement items with material information (see the section Creating Transfer Requirements).
The transfer requirement contains all the necessary information on a planned goods movement.
     What should be moved?
    Which quantity should be moved?
     When should it be moved?
The planning date is important for further automatic processing.
    Which transfer type is the basis of the goods movement?
Each goods movement in the warehouse is classified by a transfer type indicator. This key differentiates between:
                A stock putaway
                A stock pick
                A stock transfer
    Why is it to be moved?
Was the transfer order created as a result of a purchase order or a production order, or was it created manually?
Transfer Order
Definition
Document used for executing goods movements with the help of Warehouse Management (WM). Logical, physical goods movements or stock changes can be the basis for a transfer order. These include:
    Picks
    Putaways
    Posting changes
    Repacking
    Inventory
Use
As a rule, you create the transfer order with reference to a source document from WMS or other SAP application components. A source document can be a:
    Delivery document
    Tansfer requirement
    Material document
    Posting change notice
The transfer order contains all the information required to execute the physical transfer of materials into the warehouse, out of the warehouse, or from one storage bin to another storage bin within the warehouse. In addition, it is also used for executing logical stock transfers. Logical transfers of stock occur, for example, when goods are released from inspection and made available for general use. These logical transfers are called posting changes in WM.
When you confirm a transfer order, you inform the system that it has been processed and that the goods have arrived at the intended destination (see the section on confirming transfer orders). If the planned quantity (target quantity) differs from the actual quantity of stock that is moved, a difference quantity exists. If you confirm a transfer order with a difference, the difference quantity is automatically posted to an interim storage type for differences (see the section on stock differences).
Once they have been carried out, transfer orders also have a control and monitoring function since they document movements in the warehouse (see Warehouse Controlling).
For certain inventory methods (for example, zero stock check, inventory based on putaway), transfer orders serve as inventory documents. In this case, when the actual quantity is confirmed (after the first putaway into a storage bin), it is updated in the system as the inventory quantity.
Structure
A transfer order contains all the necessary information on a planned goods movement.
    What should be moved?
    Which quantity should be moved?
    Where should the bin be moved from (source storage bin), and where to (destination storage bin)?
The transfer order consists of a transfer order header with general information and one or several transfer order items with material information (see the section on creating transfer orders).
Transfer Order Header
The transfer order header contains the transfer order number and the date that it was created and confirmed. It also identifies the transfer requirement or delivery on which it is based as well as the movement type.
Transfer Order Item
A transfer order can have one or several items. The number of items contained in a transfer order depends on how many storage bins the system accesses in order to reach the total quantity of goods needed for the picking requirement or how many bins are needed to store the goods (putaway).
A transfer order item contains subsections that specify the direction of the goods movement for each item.
    Source storage bin
This subsection contains the source storage bin and the quantity of material that is being transferred. It indicates the storage bin from which goods are to be picked (goods issue) or an interim storage type (such as the goods receipt area) from which goods are taken to be put away in the warehouse.
    Destination storage bin
This subsection contains the quantity of material that is being transferred and the storage bin into which the goods are to be put away. For example, it may contain a storage bin in a high-rack storage area that has been selected for a stock putaway, or an interim storage type (the goods issue area) for a stock pick.
     Return storage bin
If, for example, you have the complete stock requirement set and you pick more stock than required from a storage bin, the system creates a subsection for the return storage bin. This can be the case, for example, when a complete pallet is removed from the shelf, but only a portion of the materials on the pallet is picked. In this case, the remaining quantity can either be returned to its original storage bin or transferred to another one.

I am using the big date calendar template and when I submit it to apple for printing I lose the name of two months. These names are not text boxes. I see the names when I send it in but something happens during the transmission to apple. It was suggested

I am using the big date calendar template in iPhoto. I am on Lion 10.7.2, macbook air. The names of the months are on each calendar page but something happens when I send the data to Apple. The names are part of the template. They are not text boxes. I lose two names on the calendar after it is sent to Apple. Apple suggested I make a pdf file of my calendar before sending it in and check to make sure every name shows. I did this with a calendar I just sent in. The calendar was correct. All names of the months were showing. After sending the data two month names disappeard because when it arrived by mail, it was incorrect. Apple looked at my calendar via a pdf file and it was incorrect. This is second time this has happened. I called Apple and they had me delete several folders in the Library folder, some preferences and do a complete reinstall of iPhoto. I have not yet remade the defective calendar. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
kathy

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

How to retrieve comments from one OfficeTask activity and use them in another OfficeTask activity for Multi level Approval sequential Workflow

I'm designing a sequential site workflow using Visual Studio 2010 for Project Server 2010. In my case, I have following 6 stages in the workflow:
1. InitialProposal Stage
2. Approval Stage1 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members1
3. Rejection Stage
4. Approval Stage2 -- Needs approval from Approver Project Security Group Members 2
5. Execution Stage
6. Completed Stage
Requirement is workflow should move to Approval stage2 from Approval stage1 if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group1and it should move to Rejection Stage even if a single member rejects it.
Workflow should move from Approval Stage2 to Execution Stage if approved by all members of Approver Project Security Group2 and it should move back to Approval Stage1 on rejection by a single member of the group.
I'm using inbuilt PSWApproval content type and OfficeTask activity for creating approval task for the group members at both stages.
On task rejected in Approval stage2, task will be assigned again to Approval Stage1 and I want to show comments given by members of Approver Project Security Group2 to the members of Approver Project Security Group1 with this assigned task
but I'm not able to retrieve comments from officeTask activity.
My question is where exactly these comments are saved? how can we retrieve them and use them in another officetask activity? If this is not possible then what is the possible solution for meeting above mentioned business requirement?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion.
By comments field I'm assuming OfficeTask.Comments field. Problem is, this field is always null. I tried accessing this field in CheckExitCondition activity as well as in OnTaskCompleted but in both the cases, it was null only(I wrote comments while approving
the task).
I used a code activity within OnTaskCompleted activity and following code for accessing Comments and Description fields:
public string officeComments;
public string officeDescription;
private void TaskCOmplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
CodeActivity Sender = (CodeActivity)sender;
Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask ofctask1 = ((CompositeActivity)Sender.Parent).Parent as Microsoft.Office.Workflow.Actions.OfficeTask;
officeComments = ofctask1.Comments;
officeDescription = ofctask1.Description;
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here, I'm very new to Workflows. Also, do I need to set any specific property of officeTask for retriving comments?
Thank you

ADF View Object query to use Oracle LONG data type

Hi,
I'm using a view object that uses Oracle LONG data type.The following exception is thrown
*"java.sql.SQLException: Stream has already been closed"* and it is not fetching the correct data.
I have searched in many forums,they suggested to use LOB instead of LONG as LONG is deprecated. But in my case I can't avoid using LONG as some of my legacy applications using the same DB.
Please suggest me a way
Thanks in Advance
Felix

Thanks for your reply Arun,
I have solved this problem using the solution suggested by this blog [AskTom-Link|http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:839298816582]
In the above blog link,they have suggested to convert Long to Varchar by functions and asked to use this function in the column.
Thank you all guys who have seen this post.

Problem in using OCIBindByName for date type column

Hi,
Can you please guide me about my following problem?
I am trying to fetch the data from system table "FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$" in Oracle Express edition 10.2.0.3 database, using the OCI library on Windows with C++
This table has a TIMESTAMP column of date type.
I've the following query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') order by TIME_STAMP asc;
For this, first I am preparing the query as below:
select TIME_STAMP from FLOWS_020100.WWV_FLOW_ACTIVITY_LOG1$ where TIME_STAMP > :PKVAL order by TIME_STAMP asc;
Before calling OCIExecute(), I am setting the PKVAL buffer to following value:
"to_date('31/OCT/12 23:59:59', 'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS') "
& calling the OCIBindByName function with data type as SQLT_DATE.
But when the OCIExecute is called, my program crashes with access violation
Can you please guide me what is the correct way to pass the date value in query to OCI? How do we bind the date values?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Best Regards.

I had a similar problem. TO_DATE doesn't appear to function w/ BindByName or BindByPos.
You are going to have to bite the bullet and use an actual date.
Here's an example (I am using two dates in my query):
int main (int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
static text invalidQuery = (text )"SELECT f1.my_val, COUNT(f1.my_val) invalid_count, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM my_db_table f2 WHERE f2.my_val = f1.my_val AND f2.foo_dt = :1 ) total_count FROM my_db_table f1 WHERE f1.foo_dt = :1 AND ( (f1.vld_bar_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_bar_sw = 'N') OR (f1.vld_foo_sw IS NULL OR f1.vld_foo_sw = 'N') ) group by my_val order by my_val asc";
OCIDate boundDateVal;
sb2 inputYear;
ub1 inputMonth;
ub1 inputDay;
char inputYearStr [] = "0000";
char inputMonthStr [] = "00";
char inputDayStr [] = "00";
/* I get and validate the date as input, but you can set it however you'd like */
inputYear = (sb2) (atoi (inputYearStr));
inputMonth = (ub1) (atoi(inputMonthStr));
inputDay = (ub1) (atoi(inputDayStr));
/* Allocating Date*/
OCIDateSetDate ( &boundDateVal, inputYear, inputMonth, inputDay );
OCIDateSetTime( &boundDateVal, 0, 0, 0);
returnVal = OCIBindByPos(invalidStmt, &firstInputBindHPtr, myErrorHandle, (ub4) 1,
(dvoid *) &boundDateVal, (sword) sizeof(boundDateVal),
SQLT_ODT, /*dty OCIDate*/
(dvoid *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub2 *) 0, (ub4) 0, (ub4 *) 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
if ( !(returnVal == OCI_SUCCESS || returnVal == OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) )
displayErrors (returnVal, myErrorHandle, "OCIBindByPos-contactDate 1 ");
cleanup();
exit(1);
}//if
returnVal = OCIBindByPos(invalidStmt, &secInputBindHPtr, myErrorHandle, (ub4) 2,
//(dvoid *) &InputArguments.contactDate, (sword) sizeof(InputArguments.contactDate),

Problem is that I have the the Waveform chart directly connected to the waveform out put the the AI C-SCAN block but nothing is being displayed on the chart. Although the time is updated on the chart it is listed as the year 1903. I do have data these channels as the there are digital outputs for these channels. Perhaps I should use the AI CONFIG and AI READ clocks rather than this AI C-SCAN. Any ideas...

Christian,
Please see the Real-Time Chart shipping example for LabVIEW. This example describes how to set the base time of the chart so that the time and date are correct.
You may want to autoscale the Y-axis as your data may be out of range of your chart and that is why nothing is seen.

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 do

I 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,
Jay
