EPM Comment Functions Work with Full and Partial Context

Full Qualified Context Comment

The comment with full qualified context is the comment added using EPMSaveComment function, BPC Web UI or EPM Add-in Comments button on EPM tab. This comment has all the dimension members specified.


Partial Qualified Context Comment

The comment with partial qualified context is the comment added with some of the dimensions members as “None Specified”.



Saving and Retrieving Comments

Full Qualified Context Comment

EPMSaveComment will always save full qualified comments and if no member is specified, it will be taken from the current context. When using BPC Web UI or EPM Add-in, you must specify all the dimension members.
To retrieve full qualified context comments in an Excel sheet, you can use the function EPMCommentFullContext or EPMSaveComment but note that EPMCommentFullContext is specific for retrieving comments.

Partial Qualified Context Comment

This type of comments cannot be added using EPMSaveComment but only using BPC Web UI or EPM Add-in Comments button on EPM tab.

To retrieve the partial qualified context comments in an Excel sheet, the function EPMCommentPartialContext must be used and using BPC Web UI or EPM Add-in, you should select “All Members” in the respective dimension.

Who is an SAP Mentor?

SAP Mentors are the top community influencers of the SAP Ecosystem. Most of the ~100 mentors work for customers or partners of SAP. All of them are hands-on experts of an SAP product or service, as well as excellent champions of community-driven projects.

  • Hands-on expert in an SAP product or service
  • Collaborative attitude
  • Good communicator
  • Preferably working at a partner or customer of SAP
  • Interested in improving products and services of SAP as well as the relationship of SAP with its customers, partners and prospects
  • Proactive engagement
 
If you don't hit all 6 points, you can compensate by being exceptional in the other 5.


How to become an SAP Mentor?

  • 2- 3 times a year there is a call for nominations blog that is asking the community to nominate possible SAP Mentors. (example)
  • After nomination a selection process takes place within SAP that involves fellow SAP Mentors, the community and subject matter experts.
  • Shortly after new SAP Mentors are announced (example)
  • Every year every mentor’s voluntary contributions from the last 12 months are reviewed and evaluated, SAP expects and looks for quality, quantity and level of impact of the those contributions to the larger SAP ecosystem. As SAP considers its mentors to be top community influencers we are careful to ensure that each and every one are meeting this high set of standards.
  • The SAP Mentor status can be revoked before the year is up.
