As noted in the link you posted, the pre-Oct technique does not work for import mode reports. And if you are using Sharepoint as a source your reports must be in import mode so you are out of luck. I think your only option at the moment is to modify the report to either manually change the connection to either point to the new URL or to add parameters.
