Graphs dont work in SAP GUI 7.10

[Former Member]

Hi,

We were using a Bar Chart in one of our programs using the function module BARC_GRAPHIC_PBO. Upon an upgrade of the SAPGUI from 6.4 to 7.10 the graph is not displayed. The graph seems to be active because a double click in the area where the graph should be takes us to the appropriate function. None of the graphs are getting displayed. Has anyone faced similar problems? Any pointers?

Thanks and Regards,

Ramkumar V.

PS: Any help is appreciated. Will award points.

Hi Ram,

Use SAP ChartDesigner for your graphics application.

Hope this might Work

Cheers

If this is not allowed please delete it.

The Chart Designer ActiveX control was developed with Microsoft Visual C++ and

Microsoft Foundation Classes, so the redistributable files of MFC and Visual C++ are

needed to run the ActiveX control.

SAPGUI 6.20 depends on Microsoft Redistributable Files Version 6.

SAPGUI 6.40 depends on Microsoft Redistributable Files Version 7.

The redistributable files are included in the SAP Gui Installation.

Download Microsoft Visual Basic Redistributable Files

Hi Sabyasachi,

From what I can understand the Chart Engine works with IGS (Internet Graphic Service) and that again is for graphics on a webpage.

My requirement is a report program, that draws a 2D graph of the workload and planning etc. Can I use the chart designer for this? Plus I dont think they will approve of it unless the old method is obsolete or something.

Have you had any experience with this chart designer?

Thanks for your help.

Ram.
