Database Set Note:

The Database note feature is set in the application manager under Database Set Note.  This is a freeform text field that can contain over 300 characters.  This field could be used for multiple purposes.  When you are creating cubes for one time proof of concept or testing, you can immediately jot down some notes about when the cube was built, why it was built, and it's purpose.  Another use, could be to inform users as to the status of the cube, ie. when the cube was last updated.  This Database Note field is viewable by end uers from Excel.  When a user chooses Essbase Connect, from Excel, a button is visible that will display the note for the active database.

While setting this by hand in application manager might be all you need to do, there is the ability to set this from Esscommand and Maxl.
