Dear BPC Experts,
We use quite a lot of comments in our work in the SAP BPC system. We have just upgraded from BPC7.5 to BPC10 (Microsoft version).
I am having some issues with comments in BPC10 (using EMPCommentFullContex function to retrieve comments sent to database).
Here are the symptoms:
- Refresh workbook in BPC10 - everything refreshed including comments.
- Saved the Excel file.
- Log-off EPM.
- Open the saved file - comments are still there and all look fine...
- Log-on to EPM - now all comments will change into #RFR (however, the other EPM functions, e.g., EPMMemberProperty remained OK!)
- I can refresh Workbook again and the #RFR will be refreshed and replaced with comments - but if I have many sheets, it takes time to do the refreshing every time I log-on...
I have tried to save the file in "OffLine Mode" too, but once I log-on to EPM, I will have the same #RFR problem.
It seems to me that EPMCommentFullContext is particularly "volatile" compared to other EPM functions.
I also tried the BPC7.5 EVCGT function in BPC10 (it still works) but I got the same results (#RFRs upon log-on)
In BPC7.5, I did NOT have this issue. Comments seemed to stay fine (after file open and then log-on)...
Note if I do not log-off, opening a saved file with comments is OK (comments stayed). However, I normally log-off by the end of the day.
My questions:
- Has anyone encountered similar behavior in BPC10 comments? If so do you have a solution?
- Is there any settings/options (e.g., user options, sheet options, etc.) that I can use to prevent comments from turning into #RFR? (the Excel file should do nothing until I ask it to refresh or expand, right?). Why would BPC do something I did not ask it to do ?
Thank you very much for your time and attention!
