The feature: "windows SharePoint services integration" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services



The feature: "windows SharePoint services integration" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services

Environment: SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012 Reporting Services

Description: After setting up and configuring SSRS in SharePoint 2013; Once you navigate to Reporting Services Service Application and click on the Settings link you might see below error:

Error: The feature: "Windows SharePoint Services integration" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.OperationNotSupportedException: The feature: "Windows SharePoint Services integration" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.

Solution: If this happens make sure you have the right SQL 2012 edition for the Reporting Services and Add-ins on the SharePoint server. 

For this navigate to Reporting Services log files location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\WebServices\LogFiles\

Check for the following string in the log files:

"INFO: Reporting Services starting SKU: Express"
If you are able to find this line then it signifies that you have the wrong edition (i.e. SQL Express) on the server. SQL Express edition does not support Reporting Services integration and Power Pivot integration with SharePoint 2013.

To fix the issue:

Uninstall the existing SQL 2012 bits from the server. You can do that via control panel - add remove programs. Select SQL Server and then uninstall it.

Install SQL 2012 Enterprise/Standard now and follow the SSRS integration steps (running the PowerShell cmdlts and creating the Service Application).

How to configure the SSRS: http://expertsharepoint.blogspot.de/2014/03/sql-reporting-services-installation.html

“Open with Explorer” is disabled in for document library in SharePoint 2013

Solution: Please find the below limitations on open with the explorer.

1.    Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
2.    Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
3.    Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit
