How to view Knowledge Document comments that are added as part of the Knowledge Document lifecycle (publish, reject, approve, rework)?
Environment

Answer
When a CA SDM knowledge Document is rejected, approved, reworked or published with a comment, CA SDM takes the comment and combines it with a hard coded description and saves the result in the MDB O_EVENTS table.
For example,when a document is rejected with a comment stating "lacks technical details", a record with "Document rejected; lacks technical details" is written to the MDB O_EVENTS table.
To view the comment, the KT analyst would need to go to the Knowledge Document viewing page and then click on 3. History & Versions->1. History. An entry similar to this can be seen:
