Gantt chart with duration

Hi Experts
As a part of bidding, client need to produce Gantt chart to the customer.
However, since this is presale process, the exact dates are not indicated but the duration of project to be specified. It means the schedule to show the duration from zero date.
Is it possible to take print of Gantt chart with out dates but duration of individual activity or WBS?
Warm regards
ramSiva

Hi Ahmed
Thank you for your reply.
The time scales in Gantt chart specifically shows the year, month and weeks from the start date of project definition or basic start of WBS.
Since it is not a decided project, the Gantt chart need to show 0, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week etc.
The actual schedule from PD start date can be produced on actual initiation of project.
It means, i am looking for having Gantt chart for duration and not for specific start and finish dates.

How to build a gantt chart with BI Publisher

Hi everybody, I need to create a gantt chart with BI Publisher. I had a look to the document "Getting Gantty" from the blog:
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2008/01/getting_gantty.html
but I don't understand in which way:
1. build the data template in order to replicate the XML code in the article
2. build and link the yellow bar which dynamically increases its length according to the meeting duration
Anybody already tried to implement something similar ? I didn't still found a real example about how to do it......
I need a help, please
Thanks in Advance
Alex

Yes that is the only option which we can stop a running report in BI Publisher
I suspect you'll need to ask your DBA to kill the session.
However, if you have DBA privileges yourself, you can do this by a few methods, some of which are described here:

Gantt chart with null dates

Hi,
Kylie discovered here that you couldn't have null dates in the project gantt query
APEX 4.0.2 Project Gantt Chart - Error Code: 2002 Message: Empty input
As Valentina suggested, I found the actual dates are mandatory, while the chart tolerates missing planned dates - which is a complete reversal of what actual project data would have.
baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship
What I found though is if some planned dates are missing, the generated XML seems to default with data from previous rows.
As detailed in this screenshot, my red lines indicate missing from/to dates (actual data also shown underneath chart)

Gantt Charts with APEX

Hello
Has anybody managed to integrate Gantt Charts with APEX and got them working. I'm required to provide some similar reports.
I understand Gantt charts are available in AnyCharts 5 but I need the XML to convert or at least a How To Do document.
Any any other ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ade

Hi Ade,
We have built an Anychart Integration Kit for APEX, if you take a look at -
http://anychart.apex-evangelists.com
and specifically -
http://anychart.apex-evangelists.com/pls/apex/f?p=454:14:0:
You'll see that anything is possible ;)
We've concentrated on the core Anychart Functionality in the Integration Kit and will be releasing more powerful versions shortly.
Hope this helps,
John.

Steps to create Resource gantt chart with hourly ranges

Does anyone have an example of how to customize the default built APEX/Anychart resource gantt charts to handle a 12 hour range showing resources? I have tried going through a sample provided by anychart tech support, but the xml file seems to have different set of entries.
What I have is a set of rows for resources in a shop over a 12 hr shift that I need to show. I have a standard resource gannt working, but I need to customize some of the xml settings to see the date/time ranges..
Any help would be a blessing!!
Thank you,

Click-enable Gantt chart with Business Graphic

Hi all,
I know that it's possible to create a gantt char with Business Graphic. But can you tell me if it's possible to add events to the elements of the graphic?
Or maybe there are other types of object that allow this.
In bsp there is the phtmlb:gantchart, is there a java package phtmlb?
Thanks and Best Regards,

Resource Gantt Chart with Multiple Series (Apex 4.1.1)

Hi,
I am building a resource gantt and I want to show different types of entry in different colours.
My series query is:
select null,
time_record_id,
username,
null,
to_timestamp(to_char(event_date + (start_time/24),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI') start_date,
to_timestamp(to_char(event_date + (end_time /24),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI') end_date
from
oly_time_record
where
work_code = 'OFFICE'
order by 5, 3;which works well to show me the times when a user is going to be in the OFFICE.
I now want to add additional bars to the chart that shows me the times that a user is going to be 'WORKFROMHOME'.
The 'OFFICE' time should show Green bars and the 'WORKFROMHOME' should show Red Bars.
This is quite easy on normal charts, where you can add extra series but the Resource Gantt does not seem to allow more than one series.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can get what I need?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
there are a lot of examples of gantt charts in this forum.

Turning Off Gantt Charts in MS Project For PDF Gen

hi
we have run into a problem when printing Gantt charts with PDF Gen. They can be extremely slow and on following up with Support they have confirmed that this is an issue with Distiller and there is no fix soon. So to get around the issue we tried disabling Gannt charts in MS Project by un-checking Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D' (Tools > Options, View tab) in MS Project
Now we're finding LC does not always pick up the setting. What we have noticed is that sometimes when printing to PDF with the same file, on the same server via PDF Gen, Gantt charts will appear, and sometimes not. Occasionally, the MS Project file when printing Gantt charts will stall in the Adobe Printer Queue, LC will then start to get Stuck Threads in Weblogic, and basically become unstable.
Upon further investigation we saw that LC will use the WINPROJ.exe if it is running to do the conversion, or start a new WINPROJ.exe process if none is running. Sometimes while starting the process we get the Gantt chart setting picked up, and sometimes not, and there is no particular pattern.
We did a lot of digging with PROCMON to see if we could find if LC was picking up a Windows Registry entry for MS Project perhaps with a different user which did not have the Gannt chart turned off, but could not find one. Our conclusion was that sometimes LC has submitted the job before WINPROJ.exe is fully loaded and somehow the No Gantt charts option gets lost, though this is speculation based on observation of behaviour.
Anyone know what is going on?

Hi,
We will get this issue reproduced in-house and see if we can provide a patch to address this problem. Prima facie this does not appear to be a bug in the product; rather it appears that MS Project might be "forgetting" this setting in some cases, or a similar setting (inside the file that is being converted) might override the application-wide setting.
We will try to see if we can forcibly set this flag (through MS Project COM APIs) each time a MS Project file gets converted. If this works, we might be able to provide a patch.
Meanwhile, can you let me know exactly what version of MS Office (with the service pack details, if any) that you are using?

Gantt chart- How to change the color of time bars of different versions

Hi All,
My Client wants to see all changes in planning schedule. I made different versions of these changes but he also want to see all these changes in gantt chart and in different colors. I tried to change the color in planning board assistant but in this screen (CJ27/ CJ2B). we cannot view all versions together. And if I use CN41, there I cannot change the colors of time bars.
Secondly, we can change colors of times bars of basic dates, forecast dates and actual dates but there is no provision to change the colors of schedule bars of different project versions. Kindly reply-
1. How to see all project versions in CJ27 or How to customise bar chart in cn41 or if we change in SPRO, then how to change graphic profile in project info profile
2. How to change colors of different time bars of different versions.
3. How to mention these legends (meaning of each color in chart) at footer of gantt chart (in print outs)
Please Help.
Thanks & Regards
Dinesh Chauhan

Thanks,
actually I've created new project planning board profile where planning board assistant is customized but unable to use this profile in CN41. we can change PS info profile in CN41 and that;s why I thought that planning board profile may be assigned somewhere in PS info profile so that changes in planning board assistant will be applied in CN41 through PS info profile. Graphic profile is too complex to understand and not sure if it will help to get colored time bars of projct versions in gantt chart. Still not clear.
Secondly not able to see all versions (snap shots) in gantt chart with different colors of time bars.
I mean planning board screen can be customized but we cannt see different versions here which are possible in CN41, but we cannt customize the gantt chart (time bars) in CN41. Pls help.
Thx & Regards

Actual Time bar for the activity duration in Gantt Chart

Hi all,
The Actual time bar for the elapsed activity duration in Gantt chart is not appearing. The same is true for all the activities i.e. activities which are not yet confirmed and activities which are partially confirmed.
Is there any customizing for the same? ( I am getting the bar in IDES, but not in DEV/QAS/PRD )
Any Help in this regards will be highly appreciated
Warm regards,
Srinivas Potluri

Hai Srinivas
Got the solution.
1)For this first check in the project profile of the Hierarchry graphic -
Time scheduling profile - check the colour patterns which been assigned.
2)open the project - Cj20N - go to planning board - bar chart - under settings - Planning board assistant - Gantt chart - check the dates display for Project definition , WBS , Acitivity - try to change the colour and check.
while changing can see - basic date of the acitivity. based on the confirmation can see the bar confirmed activity with respect to basic date. the bar confirmation will show withrespect to duration.
3) If the bar chart need in daily /hourly - can check in CNE5 . click on the graphics -bar chart - which u will get the bar chart - in this choose the Time Axis - where can select the monthly /weekly/daily /hourly format .
Award points if clear and got the solution.

Problems with Gantt Chart

Hi,
I have a Gantt Chart in my page, but there is something wrong with the scales; the major scale says, for example, "Monday, Oct 12", but the minor scale says "S" for sunday and then the major scale says "Tuesday, Oct 13" and the minor "Monday" and so on; they doesn´t correspond to each other... This is just happening in spanish, in english everything is fine, I don't know what can I do to fix this.
I have another problem in the same Gantt: one task has "16/10/2009 08:00:00 a.m." for start date and "17/10/2009 08:00:00 p.m." for end date, which gives a duration of 2 days, but in the gantt it is displayed as a 3 days duration!! this happen for every task in the gantt. I've been testing and I found that if I change the end date to "17/10/2009 06:00:00 p.m." (just changing 8 to 6 pm) the duration is displayed just fine, with the 2 days it should be. Actually this strange behavior happens only when the hour is equal or grater than 8:00pm. I've searched in the developers guide but it doesn't say anything about this; I don´t know if the OAF Gantt use some e-business parameter, or something; I really don´t know what can be happening.
I hope you can help me!
Thanks and regards,
Carlos V

Not sure about changing the scale at runtime but from what I've learned, if it can't be done in Crystal Reports itself - it can't be done via code. And in CR the only way I know of is to do the multiple charts in multiple subsections and conditionally suppress based on the number of records (Projects in your case).
You could go to the development forum and ask the question about doing it programatically.

Gantt Chart component not showing the duration (Safari and FireFox on OS X

Hi,
I created a Gantt Chart component that should show the duration of several project tasks in a graphical way. I did not specify subtasks, only tasks.
Because this is a rather simple thing to do (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_58/jdtut_11r2_58_3.html), and apparently the graphical part of the Gantt chart is not shown on my Mac, I would like to know whether someone has tried this on a Windows machine and got it working?
Kind regards,
Philip

In Safari, the "sample" page loads and it shows the graphical part of the Gantt. In Firefox the sample page does not load:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<partial-response><noop/></partial-response>
Thanks Shay!
Maybe the WLS is causing the problems at my side? I also noted the left-right mouse swipe movements to scroll in a panel does not work when using my local JDev and IntegratedWLS, but it does work on your sample page.
Kind regards,
Philip

Problem with Project 2007 gantt chart in Acrobat X

Good morning,
We are experiencing an issue with certain, rather large gantt charts in Project 2007 when converting them to PDF using Acrobat X. The issue is that the last portion of the chart is broken when converted to PDF. The chart will print properly when sent to a real printer, and it also renders correctly in the print preview. Here is an example of the issue:
As you can see, it has broken the last section of the chart and "stretched" the bars across the page. I couldn't find anything in the knowledge base that related to this issue, so any assistance would be apreciated.

Unfortunately it seems that this is still occuring, I guess nobody has ever come across this issue?

Problems with BusinessGraphics Gantt Chart: WebDynpro 7.1 SP3

Hi,
i tried the BusinessGraphics Gantt Chart and went through the Code Example for Displaying a Gantt Chart on:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/1cd93f5e0f9015e10000000a155106/content.htm
Unfortunately my gantt does not look and behave like it should:
1) The bars are only small sqares in the middle of one day. I use the same data as in the sample, so the bars should be a couple of days long
2) I added an action, added an EventID to the series and to the point, mapped the parameters. When clicking a point a roundtrip is done. I write a success message with the eventID but often the Gantt Picture is a broken image after this (small red cross).
3) The tooltip of the point is not shown in the chart when pointing on the square
Can anybody help, please?
Thanks
Frank

Thanks a lot! This solved one of three problems. The trick is that you can set the marker for the points (without any effect) and for the series (with effect).
The tooltip shows up now, too. No idea why now and not before...

How to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

ok clear
one another question
In msp how to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

Hi Shiv PMC--
I splitted your question above in another thread in order not to have a huge thread with many topics in it.
That being said, I'm not sure to understand. A view is just a manner to display MS Project data with columns. A view can have a table with column (left part) associated with a Gantt chart. It can also just contain a table with no Gantt chart (like the task
table) or a table with a timephased grid (resource and task usage).
Please give us more information, maybe with a concrete example so we can help you.
Hope this helps,
