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.
