Hi Mark,
What version of BO do you have and are you using Universe Design Tool (UDT) or Information Design Tool (IDT)?
What kind of details do you want to know about the data source? Do you want to know Universe name and/or something else? You can create an object to get the Universe name.
Also, you can get the Connection parameters by creating a variable in the report (not in universe).
Thanks,
Mahboob Mohammed
