Universe over BEX or BW Cubes

Hi All,

I am currently working on BO 4.0 SP6. I wanted to know, if it is possible to

1. Create a universe on top of a BEX query

2. Create a universe on top of BW infocubes.

3. Consume BW infocubes through BICS connection, without a BEX query

I know, i can consume a BEX query directly using BICS connection but just want to know if it is possible to implement the above in SP6 or above releases.

Regards,

Piyush
