it is stated that user, password are optional and I do find something like the following will work:
ENGINE SQLMSS SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES [connection name] &sourcename/
In that, [connection name] now points to &sourcename, but without the credentials specified, the run-time account is used which may not correspond to a SQL login.
What I want is to have server admins maintain an adapter with credentials, while developers point to the adapter and can rename the target instance (our BI servers refresh every four hours and the developers can get the current instance name through a query), but not have to put in the code (or even know) the SQL credentials.
Is it possible another way?
I tried using
ENGINE SQLMSS SET SERVER
, but it does not seem to offer that functionality.
Thanks!

This is the only way I know of to overwrite the database server that the data adapter is pointing to.
-SET &SQLServerName = 'NewServerName';
ENGINE SQLMSS SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES DataAdapterName &SQLServerName/
Your developers will need to -INCLUDE this code. The should add it to their Report Settings or Environment fex. The credentials that get passed will depend on how the data adapter is configured. It would be best to have it configured with a SQL Account with read only access.
At least in my testing that didn't work. That's what I was trying to explain. Like I said in my post, when I tried that "...without the credentials specified, the run-time account is used which may not correspond to a SQL login."
