online composition unx datasource

Hi all,

I've just started figuring out the online composition capabilities, firstly through the standard templates provided with DS. While i am very exited about incorporating these features in applications, I'm starting to suspect that it is not gonna work with a unx as a datasource. Is this a correct assumption or am i just missing something?

Overall I have to say I'm quite disappointed with the fact that a lot of features in DS seem to only work when using a BEx Query (first thing that comes to mind is the use of hierarchies defined in the universe which DS doesn't pick up on).

Has SAP released any statements about adding functionalities for unx datasource ?

The SAP Help says online composition is based on the generic analysis template http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/AAD16/en/ds_16_user_en.pdf which indicates it will work with BW or HANA

The latest roadmap for Design Studio was updated on Friday https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000390622012D.pdf

See this slide from the roadmap:

You can see online composition is not supported.  You can submit an idea at Idea Place https://ideas.sap.com/sapdesignstudio

Also I attended an EMEA webcast last month; SAP said the next release would be focused more on non-SAP data sources (UNX?) but I haven't had time to post my notes (this is my recollection)
