# Discontinued Functionality in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

  This topic describes [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] features that are no longer available in [!INCLUDE[ssCurrent](../includes/sscurrent-md.md)].

### 64-bit Platform Support

 Starting in [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)], the [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] component no longer supports Itanium-based servers running Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2. [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] continues to support other 64-bit operating systems, including Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems and Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems. To upgrade to [!INCLUDE[ssKilimanjaro](../includes/sskilimanjaro-md.md)] from a [!INCLUDE[ssKatmai](../includes/sskatmai-md.md)] installation with [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] on an Itanium-based system edition of Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2003 R2, you must first upgrade the operating system.  
  
### Data Source Credentials in URL Access

 The URL access parameter strings *dsu:datasourcename=value* and *dsp:datasourcename=value* are now discontinued. In prior versions, these parameter strings are stored in plain text in the browser cache, which is not secure.
