I was wondering if there is a "trick" or something that I can do to
minimize the headache that we have when we try to deploy our reports to
our live server.

Problem :
Our db connection is different between our test and live servers

Solution we came up with:
Hard-coding the URL/Username/Password and change the settings every
time we deploy

Solution that would be great:
Read DB Connection from configuration file.

I forgot to mention that they should not be passed as parameters.
As the reports are going to be run in a web interface, and it's not
secure to send username,password and IP of my DB server over the wire.

Thank you again

See Property Binding in the data source editor.
Just define appropriate parameters for each data source property and fill
these parameters in runtime from config file.

IReportRunnable design = engine.openReportDesign(path);
HashMap parameters = evaluateParameterValues(design);
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
task.setParameterValues(parameters);

Good luck,
Andrey Dulub
