Hi Gagan,
As you mentioned, while changing the datasource of a webi document from UNV to UNX the two issues are basic concerned i.e. report data is getting lost & custom query is lost.
- The solution of the issue "Report data is getting lost" is that you have to refresh the webi document with parameters & then you have to save the webi document. Below is the RESTful call sequences for the same:
  a) Get the parameters
     URL: http://<server-name>:<port>/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/{document-id}/parameters
     Method: GET
  b) Refresh the parameters
     URL: http://<server-name>:<port>/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/{document-id}/parameters
     Method: PUT
  c) Save the webi document
     URL: http://<server-name>:<port>/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/{document-id}
     Method: PUT
- You can take refrence of Refreshing the webi documents with parameters from the Section "7.5 Refreshing Documents" of the Webi REST developer guide from the link.
- About the second issue "Custom Query is lost", this issue is a limitation of the product & this behaviour is happens by design. Please refer the SAP Note:" 1855903 - Custom SQL lost when re-mapping a Web Intelligence report from UNV to the same Universe converted UNX".
- The same behaviour is also exhibits by the Webi Rich Client while changing the datasource.
- The only Workaround for this issue is as below:
  a. Copy the custom SQL statements prior to changing the data source
  b. Paste them back once the data source is changed
Hope this helps.
