WD for ABAP Gantt Charts Tutorial

[Former Member]

I am looking to create a Gantt Chart using Business Graphics in WD for ABAP. The only tutorial I can find is in NWDS WD for Java. I have tried to implement this using WD for ABAP but the results don't look great. I am not sure if I have a problem with the Start and End dates not being pulled through from context correctly (I don't see a nice 'Bar' Gantt chart, but 'Points' instead), or I need to configure the Chart in some way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

see the component DEMO_BG_GANTT in the system in the latest support package. See also the documentation on <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/68/248841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Gantt</a> and on <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ed/258841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">BusinessGraphics</a>

Thanks Heidi,

I have already taken a look at the documentation on Gantt and on BusinessGraphics and find it difficult to follow (I am new to WD for ABAP). However I will see if I can get BASSIS to update to the latest support packages so that I can look at the demo. Do you happen to know up to which support package we need to install? Thanks again, Ian
