XML Publisher CHARTS: mulit-dimensions not plotted correctly

Question

Hi,
We're currently assessing the suitability of XMP Publisher and one of the deciding factors is to create a bar chart from an SQL query that retrieves multiple portfolios over a time-frame. For example, three portfolios are selected over a time period like 3 years (but there does not have to be a performance for every month) and their performance is plotted against each month (i.e. 0 - 3 Columns depending if a result exists per month). In the desktop publisher we struggled but managed to change the Graphics code until it could dynamically show the correct legend and the data rows, but alas the data points do not correspond correctly with the X-axis. It seems that when the rows are grouped each value is plotted against each column regardless of the tagged value used for the X-axis.
Let me try and put it this way, the first month had only 1 portfolio and the next month had all three, but on the graph the first month shows three columns, the records have slipped.
The code that we used was adapted from a forum entry by Klaus Fabian- "Re: Stacked Bar Chart
" (Servus Klaus;-)), but we need to find out how to adapt the code so that it plots the data correctly against the X-axis values.
Help!!!!
Cheers,
Robin.
Here's the code we used
chart:
<Graph>
<Title text="" visible="true" horizontalAlignment="CENTER"/>
<LocalGridData colCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'TODATE'))}" rowCount="{count(xdoxslt:group(.//ROW, 'CODE'))}">
<RowLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./CODE"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowLabels>
<ColLabels>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="TODATE">
<Label><xsl:value-of select="./TODATE"/></Label>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</ColLabels>
<DataValues>
<xsl:for-each-group select=".//ROW" group-by="CODE">
<RowData>
<xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()" group-by="TODATE">
<Cell><xsl:value-of select="./PERFORMANCE"/></Cell>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</RowData>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</DataValues>
</LocalGridData>
</Graph>

Hi,
I have finally found solution to this issue....
Two setups are required to display the charts in the concurrent program's PDF output:
1. We need to edit the variables CLASSPATH and AF_CLASSPATH. These variables should have the complete path added for the xdoparser.zip file on the server.
2. The DISPLAY variable should be correctly setup to direct the server output.
Also as per my findings so far, the BI (XML) publisher version 11.1.1.3.0 (or any 11g) does not work with EBS (at least for charts). We need to use BI publisher version which is XML 5.6.3 compatible for EBS. This version is 10.1.3.2.1. (patch 12395372) Now this 10g version does not work on Windows 7 so you need to use Windows XP!
With this... finally... your charts should be getting displayed in EBS output...
Cheers!! :-)
