Date fixing of Gantt chart in cproject

Hi,
In cproject 4.0 Gantt chart , can we fix the time line appearance before and after the project schedule for various overviews like week, Month and year.? In current system the empty calender appears with huge period like 2 years incase of year overview, and more than 12 months in case of Month overview, more than 12 Weeks incase of Weeks(approximately).
Pls guide me to solve the issue. Right answers will be awarded.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramesh

hi Ramesh,
There is not much felxibility in viewing the Gantt chart like normal non sap planning tools. if you select view - overview then you will be able to see your all project in your window, system will automatically select scale to show you entire project. As per my knowledge there is no such settiing in collabration project to see specific period Gantt chart. But if you print the gantt chart system will give you preview of only specific time in which project operation with respect to view you select.
Please let me know if you get more information about this.
Regards,
Pramod
plz award pts if its useful for you.

Gantt chart in cProjects and XML definition

Hi,
I am making some changes to the XML file passed to the graphic in WebDynpro ABAP - Gantt chart (in cProjects module).
I would like to achieve a result that some bars are drawn with a pattern, for example with lines.
I am using the Node definition in file Typerepository_Badi_cpr.xml.
I have a set of definitions:
<shape>
<fill Color type="SAP.Color.GanttBar.Metal" />
</shape>
Where can I find definition of available colors, or how to achieve the result with pattern on a bar?
thank you!

There is no date set 'Forecast' in the cProject as it in the ERP PS.
In the User-settings in the cProject application you can determine which dates should be showed in the GANTT. A dynamisic swith like ERP PS is not possible.
As far as I remember, there is a note, which describes how to set color in GANTT. If you donot find it, please let me known.
Kind regards,

CProjects - How to show purchase order dates in the Gantt chart

We link several types of procurement objects like a purchase order or a production order
out of our ERP system to several cProjects tasks.
As described in the SAP help we specify the date type in the user settings, e.g. to
Basic Dates.
With the production order everything is ok, a separate bar appears.
But the bar for the purchase order is missing.
Is it possible to choose a date type, which shows the scheduled dates for purchases
and production orders both? Which one?
Kind regards, Mafi

HI,
Did you mean that your issue was on PO's creator on the top on the Po screen ?
If yes, I think that some issue existed in your system. In the standard system, the system will show full name of PO's creator if the SAP account is available on SAP system ( existed on check SU01 tcode). Otherelse, system will show the SAP account ID on the Po screen if SAP account was deleted.
Hope this usefull for you.
Otherelse, Please specify ur problem more clearly?

GANTT CHART IN CPROJECTS- 4.0

Can we have 3 sets of Dates (Basic Dates, Forecast Dates, Actual Dates) with both Earliest & Latest Dates options in cProjects as we have in R/3 PS ? If this is not possible, can we view both operative version and project version dates simultaneously in the GANTT ? Is it possible to chose different colours for different sets of dates as defined by the user?

Adf gantt chart: how to drag the task bar to another date

hi all,
how can I drag the task bar to another date in ADF Gantt Chart.
do I need coding(like handler DataChangeEvent in dataChangeListener),
or just set some properties.
thank you for your help !
zqh

We are unable to drag the gantt bars in our application. Initially this used to work fine and we used to get a call back for the action type TIME_CHANGED in the data change event. But now neither we are getting handle around the bars for expanding/collapsing them nor we are getting any callback for this event.
Looks like if the Edit feature is added in the featuresoff attribute of gantt then the gantt becomes un-interactive. Is there a way by which we can remove the Edit menu but still be able to drag/expand/collapse the task bars?

APEX 4.0 - error building Gantt chart?

Hi everybody
When I build a Gantt chart in apex.oracle.com, start & end dates show no real dates, just the text 'dd.mm.rr'.
My query follows:
select
null as link,
description as task_name,
task_id as task_id,
null as parent_id,
start_date as actual_start,
end_date as actual_end,
progress as progress
from PENDING_TASKS;
Any ideas?
Oscar

Hi Oscar,
For Gantt charts, by default the Application Date Format will be used to format dates on your Gantt chart. If an application-level date format isn't specified and neither is a Gantt Date format, via the Chart Attributes page, then the NLS_DATE_FORMAT will be used to format dates on your Gantt chart. If you wish to define a date format via the Chart Attributes page, edit your Gantt chart, and update the "Date Format" item in the Gantt Settings region. For example, on this example on apex.oracle.com - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:4 - I've set the "Date Format" to *%dd.%MMM.%yy*, which uses the required AnyChart format specifiers, as outlined in AnyChart documentation, specifically in the Formatting Parameters List: http://www.anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/users-guide/locale.html?fromtree#list.
Post-4.0 release, I did identify an issue with the popup associated with the "Date Format" item on the Chart Attributes page, and bug 9861439 can be used to track this issue. A fix for this issue will be available in our next release, but in the meantime you can enter dates into the "Date Format" text item, ensuring you use the AnyChart format specifiers outlined in the documentation I've included a link for above e.g. *%dd.%MMM.%yy*.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

Gantt chart in Graphic layout of project

Hi,
is it possible to add a column in Gantt chart in cProjects project display? There is a BADI DPR_GANTT method GET_GANTT_PARAMETERS, but it is possible only to delete the columns, while I need to put a new column there. Is that possible?
Thank you.

Hi,
Unfortunately it's not possible in standard.
You have to enhance class CL_DPR_UI_LOG_GANTT to achieve this.

Gantt chart is not showing the topmost task properly

Hi,
I have tried to create a gantt chart similar to [http://www.anychart.com/products/anygantt/gallery/sample_02.html]
, except the connectors are not necessary. I could do this by dropping some parts out from the custom XML, but the parent tasks are always displayed with the same style as the child tasks. I want to make the parent periods display so that they are different from the child periods like in the chart example, where they are gray and thinner. How is that possible ?
Tiina

Hi Tiina,
Firstly, just to explain the current behaviour, the timeline bars in Gantt charts generated in APEX have a default style called defaultStyle applied to them. This style controls the appearance of the various components of the timeline region, such as the actual bar colour, the progress bar colour, etc. The default style needs to be applied to the <task> tags within the chart XML i.e. the tags containing the data for your Gantt chart. In order to allow our users to control the appearance of the timeline items via attributes on the Chart Attributes page, we update the default Style with values selected on the Chart Attributes page and then we reference that style in the <task> tag, as follows:
<project_chart>
<tasks>
<task id="7782" parent="" name="Charts Integration" actual_start="2009.03.21 12.03.00" actual_end="2009.09.21 12.09.00" baseline_start="2009.03.18 12.03.00" baseline_end="2009.09.26 12.09.00" progress="60" style="defaultStyle"/>
</tasks>
</project_chart>....where style="defaultStyle" is the reference to the style. If you look in the XML you'll see where the default Style has been defined. The <tasks> tags are generated at runtime, and populated with the resultset for the chart series query. If we didn't apply a default style to these tags, then users would be required to manually generate the <tasks> tags themselves in order to apply a style to their Gantt chart data.
In AnyChart, no style has been applied to the example you selected - http://www.anychart.com/products/anygantt/gallery/sample_02.html - only default AnyChart settings are being used here. Due to the existence of style="defaultStyle" in your Gantt data, you'll have to make the necessary changes within the </styles> tags of your XML. These changes can be made via the options exposed on the Chart Attributes page or by customizing the XML. I know this isn't exactly the same as the AnyChart example, but you can achieve something similar by just updating the Chart Attribute settings, as done on this example: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:50. I hope this helps.

CProjects - Gantt chart

Hi Gurus
In cProjects - Gantt chart I am able to see the see the graph with start and finish date. I want to add actual finsih date. For eg. Task _1 start date is 01.06.2014 and finish date is 03.06.2014, but the task was completed by 6.06.2014. I need bring the actul completed date also in the graph. Please
help. We are in cProjects 4.0
Is there any standard report ?
Regards
Vidhyadharan

Hi Vidhyadharan,
By standard, any project management tools will have only one bar which displays your ES/LS dates with EF/LF if no actual dates are there. If actual dates are there, then those dates will be considered for display in gantt chart.
In cProjects, actuals are indicated by the small line within the bar which comes based on the percentage completion field.
Your next question will be, then how do I compare plan vs actual?
For this you need to take a snapshot of our project after release and keep that as a baseline plan and use version comparison to compare & see baseline and current scheduled plan.
In cProjects 4.0, you will only have tabular 'Version comparison', if you need graphical gantt chart for version comparison, then that feature is available only in PPM 5.0 and above.
You can refer the below screenshot of PPM5.0 version comparison, where
- Hatched bars - Baseline plan(From version snapshot)
- Normal bars (Blue & red) - Scheduled plan
- Bar with line in the center shows the completion activities.
Hope this clarifies your question.

Ravi

Setting Custom XML = Yes in resource gantt chart removes start & end dates

I'm having a strange issue with a Resource Gantt chart in Apex 4.0.2.
I built the chart using the Wizard and changed nothing from the defaults. Everything looks/acts fine on the chart when Use Custom XML = No. But I wanted to change a couple things like cell alignment and width, so I set this to Yes and modified the column attributes in the XML code. After doing so, when running the report, the values for Start Date and End Date are not showing. This is happening in both the datagrid and the tooltips, but the timeline is still showing the right information (ie a bar from start to end), so I know it still knows what the correct start and end dates are.
Thinking I accidentally messed something up, I deleted the chart and recreated it (again, from the wizard). This time, I went back and only set Use Custom XML = Yes but did not change anything within the XML code itself. To my surprise, the dates were still missing. If I set it back to No then they reappear.
Has anyone seen this before and/or know a way to fix it?
Thanks,
~ John

Hej John,
APEX itself is using a field substitution "&DATE_FORMAT." to insert the date format into the XML file. This field substituion is used in may location in the default XML. APEX standard action is to substitute it with the value specified in the Gantt Setting "Date Format". This substitution takes place many places in the default XML file.
Enabling custum XLM also means disabling APEX XML handling, the substitution does not take place, the "&DATE_FORMAT." contains in this case a null value.
The default XML file, which can be viewed in apex developer mode, looks like:
Start Date: {%ActualStart}{dateTimeFormat:&DATE_FORMAT.}
The runtime XML, which can be viewed in debug mode, contains something like:
Start Date: {2011.07.21 00:00:00}{dateTimeFormat:}
...a null value is not a valid AnaGantt date format.
Two solutions:
a) insert a correct AnyGannt date formatter in the custom XML like
Start Date: {%ActualStart}{dateTimeFormat%YYYY.%MM.%dd %HH:%mm:%SS}
or
b) create a field DATE_FORMAT on page containg the chart and intialize it with the AnyGantt date formatter like %YYYY.%MM.%dd %HH:%mm:%SS".
When running the page the substitution will take place usually.
Regards,
Benny

Gantt Chart - #DATA# value

Hi All,
I am using Oracle Apex version 4.2.2.00.11.
I do have a gantt chart in one of my application and that is working fine, in this gantt chart we are not using any custom XML generation logic.
Now we got another requirement from client, in this we are going for custom XML generation logic because of the nature of data.
They do expect the similar chart which we have already, now my requirement is, how can i look at the XML generated in my first Gantt Chart? because the XML part contains the parameter as, #DATA# and this contains the answer am searching for.
Can anyone please help me to pull out the XML generated(#DATA#) by Apex in my first chart?
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Sakthi.

Run you page in debug mode. Then automagically a link appears below your chart "Show XML". Click that one 'et voila' ....

Just found another issue. Gantt chart seems to take into account users timezone from trinidad config when rendering tasks on timeline.
However, when you rollover a task, start and end date are displayed in system time. ProjectGantt has no "timeZone" property to override this behavior.

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)

Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround - can I supply my own XML to hopefully override what is being generated?

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.
warm regards

Gantt Chart Shows Months With Nothing in it Requiring User to Scroll to Dates

I have a task list with a filtered list of dates that all fall in October yet the Gantt chart starts in April. Thus a user has to scroll all the way over to the far right to see any of the active tasks in the list. Is there a solution for this? Am I missing
some basic setting? I also don't see the "You are here" date line. I am on SharePoint 2013 0365.
Thanks!

Hi ,
You can click the ribbon button "Zoom Out" under list tab to show a larger time increment on the time scale, then it should show the whole task bar and status without scrolling to the right.
Thanks,
