GANTT Chart and displaying Milestones

I have installed the "Box Charts -GANTT" chart and things look great. However, I would like to be able to display Milestones (start_date = end_date) as another object besides the BAR (ex: triangle). Any help/recommedations with this are greatly appreciated.
- David

use a query as the next for the task type parameter (it is on the help of jDeveloper 4 the gantt chart):
second view object should query the details of each task. For example, it may look like this: SELECT project_id, top_task_id, task_id,
task_number, task_name, scheduled_start_date start_from,
scheduled_finish_date end_to, task_manager_name text_right,
decode(scheduled_start_date, scheduled_finish_date, 'milestone',
decode(top_task_id, task_id, 'summary', 'normal')) task_type
FROM pa_tasks_v

Traffic light in Gantt chart and Colour change in the same.

Dear All,
I have designed an interactive ALV report and put a button in the output to display Gantt Chart. The Gantt chart is displaying fine after pressing the button based on the output.
I have two questions as below.
1) Is it possible to diplay Traffic light in Gantt chart output from an interactive report. Please provide the code as well as process.
2) How to change the colour of the fields like date or time field of the Gantt chart output from an interactive report. Please provide the code as well as process.
Shyamal.
ABAP.

Hi friend,
For displaying trafic lights there is a simple options in the layout
under exceptions there are few fields,
lights_fieldname type slis_fieldname,
lights_tabname type slis_tabname,
lights_rollname like dfies-rollname,
lights_condense(1) type c.
First two fields will server the purpose if you need extra manipulation can go for other two also.
And for changing color in the fields there is an option called emphasize(4) in fieldcatlog which will do your purpose.
I think you know your requirement and code better so its better to adapt this in your logic the using our logic which will make you confuse.
if you want to highlight a particular cell in the ALV go for this codes in Wiki.
If you still need any help please revert back to me i will help you.
Thanks,
Sri Hari

Hi Siegwin,
I've done some digging through the AnyChart documentation, and it looks like you need to look at setting a scale pattern for your Gantt chart. Take a look at the section called Date Time Scale Units Patterns in the AnyChart AnyGantt User's Guide, here: http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/users-guide/timeline-scale.html?fromtree#date-time-patterns. I've updated one of my existing sample Gantt charts to apply a <weeks> pattern, which now displays the calendar week above each week - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:50 - you'll need to zoom in on the timeline in order to see the weeks of course. To achieve this, I just updated the custom XML region:
from
<timeline>
    <plot line_height="30" item_height="15" item_padding="5" />
</timeline>to
<timeline>
    <plot line_height="30" item_height="15" item_padding="5" />
    <scale>
      <patterns>
        <weeks>
          <pattern>%e</pattern>
        </weeks>
      </patterns>
    </scale>
</timeline>I would recommend that you review the AnyChart AnyGantt User's Guide (http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/users-guide/index.html) and XML Reference (http://anychart.com/products/anygantt/docs/xmlReference/index.html) for any further customisations that you wish to apply to your chart, as they provide some very useful examples and associated XML code, which can prove very helpful.

How to show a Milestone in a Gantt Chart?

Hi All,
I have made a Gantt Chart and want to show a milestone for a particular date.
I am trying the following code in my BSP Page and I can see the text i.e (Test) in the UI but can not see the milestone icon.
<i><phtmlb:ganttChartActivity row       = "5"
                                     startDate = "20070604"
                                     endDate   = "20070604"
                                     text        = "Test"
                                     color     = "BLACK"

Can anyone please help me.
<b>Regards,</b>
Abhinav

Hi Patrick,
I have gone through the thread and the note provided in the thread, It is useful.
But for some reason even after following everything properly the Milestone symbol does not appear in my ganttChart but the text which I have provided for the Milestone appears on my ganttChart.
I have even gone through "ganttChartSample.htm" in BSP Application
"bspext_phtmlb" and followed the same thing still the milestone symbol does not apear at all.

ADF Data visualization Gantt chart displaying 10 columns only

hi
i am using Gantt chart and it is only displaying 10 columns from the view object the 11 column is not visible
how can i solve this??
also these columns are taking so much space, and i want to make their width smaller, but when i change the style --> box --> width, the column alone change its width but without the header.
thanks

People are not prone to answer questions that are not really a problem. You want to know something about a free product, install it and see for yourself. In any case spreading your question around is not going to help you, the people who know about ADF are still going to be looking in the ADF forum. If you don't get an answer there, what chance do you think you have that you'll get one here where it is off-topic?
I'll close with a word of advice: you generally pay for quality. If you want professional looking charts, you'll probably have to look at commercial products.

Hi Vedant,
values are displayed in pie chart their label is not display.
So you're able to view the value and label information when you hover over a slice i.e. viewing the tooltip, but you can't see the actual label for each slice of the pie. If you're not seeing all of the labels for the slices of the Pie chart, then this could due to a couple of reasons:
1) the length of the label
2) the position of the label
3) the size of the chart
Keep in mind that displaying all 41 labels on the chart could result in an extremely cluttered looking chart. AnyChart controls the visibility of the labels, depending on the above factors. So if your labels are quite lengthy, for example, and they are positioned to be displayed outside the chart, then AnyChart will display what labels it can for the given chart size. To work around this, having tooltips enabled is a good starting point. Alternatively, you could look at decreasing the length of the label text, changing the label position or even increasing the size of the chart. For further information on the label formatting, I would recommend reviewing AnyChart's online documentation, here: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/label-text-formatting.html?fromtree.

Hilary

Editable column in GANTT chart - extra filter

Hello,
My requirement is:
I'd like to add extra row (1st) as filter in GANTT chart and in Multiproject monitor. Part of it is already done ( the cell is in place, and the event is handled), but the problem is, when viewing a single project, filter cell is available only when the project is in edit mode. In MP mode there is no edit mode, display only. Which makes the content of the filtering cell unavaiable in multiproject view.
I understand this is connected to the XML attribute value of:
<Mode>
<Editor>LAYOUT</Editor>
</Mode>
when in display mode or when in edit
<Mode>
<Editor>EDITOR</Editor>
</Mode>
The question is, is it possible to have the whole chart in editor LAYOUT, with a single cell set to editable? I tried setting the attribute EDITABLE to true, but it doesn't work for editor = LAYOUT.
Thanks for any hints,
Michal

even crazier than report editor :)
you can create an activity UDF like "Predecessor Names" and run a script (trigger or job initiated) directly on the database to give it values for every activity, by joining Activity Names of any predecessors. you would have to trim that to some max varchar value (default for text udf's is 255 which may quickly prove insufficient).
I seriously doubt that is feasable (little value for effort, affects performance and possibly risks db integrity if inproperly done).

Gantt Chart Legend

Hi,
I'm currently working on a gantt chart and facing problem with the legend. I couldn't modify the legend accordingly. I have tried using the codes from <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a8/1cd93f5e0f9015e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Help</a> but I just couldn't produce my own legend. I would very much appreciate if any gurus can help me with the coding part. Currently the legend will take the label name from Series-> label.
Thanks in advance.
Joanne

Hi,
as I wrote in your previous thread the behaviour depends on the Gantts property UseCategories. This also influences the legend.
If UseCategories is true:
the legend displays the labels of the series; additionally it can display point customizing (set Legend.MoreInfo = true and provide a Caption in your point customizing).
If UseCategories is fals:
the legend does not display series labels; if you set the MoreInfo of the legend to true it will display all Captions of all point customizing (even the ones that are not referenced by your data!).

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...

Realize Gantt Chart in Catalyst

I am not quite shure that its possible or even ment to be done with Catalyst, thats why I am asking if its possible. And when its possible how
I got a Illustrator File containing all Elements of a Gantt Chart like TaskItems, Milestones a Top bar showing the Calendar Week an so on. Shure its easy to implements a "fake" scroll function to move a little bit to the left or right. But is it possible to create again Chart similar to creating a "normal" DataList or even by somehow using the DataList ?
Or has the full animation to be implemented in Flash Builder ?

It looks like every other... Gantt Chart...

Gantt Chart - why do the orders have hash marks through them?

MWM 1.5.0.8.1 and ORS
Why do the field orders that are displayed in the gantt chart have hash lines through them?

Those are aggregated by the Gantt chart. Right-click the block in question and hit "Expand" or equivalent. MWM v2.0 will aggregate Activities in the Gantt chart for display purposes if the Activities are similar.

HELP!! How to use setData for a Gantt-Chart

Hello,
how can I use the function setData? I've created a page with a resource-gantt-chart and now I want to use this function to set the data to the chart.
The chart has the attribute "static id" = GANT_CHART.
In the HTML-header of the page I tried
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function SetDataToChart() {
var data = &F_GANTT_CHART_DATA.;
var chart = document.getElementById('GANTT_CHART');
chart.setData(data);
</script>
where the item F_GANTT_CHART_DATA returns the following:
<resource_chart>
<resources>
<resource id="3002" name="0400006/1" />
</resources>
</resource_chart>
I call the function SetDataToChart() in "Execute when page loads"
Thank you for any help!

Gantt Chart in Project Status Report

Hi Folks,
We are doing a custom development and creating our own Project Status Report PDF form. Is there a way (standard FM or otherwise) to generate a Gantt chart and show it on the PDF form.
The Gantt chart itself is not of the whole project structure. It is only the phases. Most projects will have 4-5 phases maximum. The Gantt chart also does not need to be too sophisticated, we just need a high level graphical representation of the phase timelines.
Let me know if my question is not clear and I can elaborate.
Thanks
Lashan

Hello Lashan,
Building the Gantt chart in a PDF report is quite tricky. The Gantt chart view you see in cProjects is a different SAP component, JGantt (developed in Java), which is connected to the system.
Adobe forms don't have a standard Gantt element, so you'll have to render it somewhere else and send it to the form in a binary format.
For creating and rendering the graphic you can use the SAP IGS (Internet Graphics Service).
You can find some details here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/17/86c039c7811f11e10000000a114084/content.htm
This is a little bit more complicated, you also need to use iXML libraries to transform all the Gantt data into the IGS required format.
The end result will not really look like the Gantt view, but it will contain all necessary information:
Is this the kind of graphic you need to develop?
Cheers,
Tudor
