Consuming Hierarchies with native HANA connection

Hi,

Problem: we need to consume a level hierarchy in Design Studio 1.6. The level hierarchy was built in HANA, what connections would allow Design Studio to access a level hierarchy in Design Studio?

These are my findings:

Connect via:

- Native HANA: both level hierarchy and parent/child hierarchy won't work

- HANA ODBC: level hierarchy won't work but P/C works

Some research online and found these:

- If the hierarchy is built in Bex query with BW as backend: this will always work

- if the hierarchy is built in IDT with connected via BIP, this will not work

- if the hierarchy is built in universe with connected via BIP, this will not work

Any thoughts?
