The following system software is required to run ArcIMS.
Microsoft Windows NT-Intel® 4.0 with Service Pack 6a, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 (hereafter collectively referred to as Windows)
To determine if Service Pack 6a is installed on Windows NT:
Choose Start > Run, type “Winver,” and press Enter. If your system is running it, ‘Revised Service Pack 6a’ is listed in the About Windows NT screen.
ArcIMS works in conjunction with Web server software. A Web server must be installed and operational in order to start serving maps.
For information on setting up your Web server and Servlet Engine visit http://support.esri.com/search/KbDocument.asp?dbid=25867.
System administration access to the Web server computer is necessary, and knowing how to stop and start your Web server is mandatory.
ArcIMS is fully supported on these Web servers on Microsoft Windows computers:
Apache Web Server using Jakarta-Tomcat installed as a service or ServletExec as its servlet engine
IBM HTTP Server using WebSphere® as its servlet engine
Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE)™ Web Server, Enterprise Edition, using its Native Java servlet engine
Sun Java System (formerly Sun ONE) Application Server
Microsoft IIS using a servlet engine
Note: Microsoft Personal Web Server is not supported.
Oracle® Application Server (OAS) using Apache Web Server
WebLogic®
See Supported Software Environments for other Web servers and their ESRI support level.
ArcIMS requires a servlet engine if the Web server does not support servlets natively. For information on setting up your Web server and Servlet Engine visit http://support.esri.com/search/KbDocument.asp?dbid=25867.
The servlet engine must use Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Runtime Engine (J2SE JRE) or Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Software Development Kit (J2SE JDK) 1.3.1 or higher.
IBM WebSphere
JRun for IIS using J2SE JDK instead of J2SE JRE available from www.macromedia.com/software/jrun
Jakarta-Tomcat for Apache Web Server or IIS installed as a service available from www.apache.org (hereafter referred to as Tomcat)
ServletExec™ available from the ServletExec folder on the ArcIMS CD or from www.newatlanta.com
See Supported Software Environments for other servlet engines and their ESRI support level.
Note: Servlet engine evaluation versions are not supported.
ServletExec 5.0 AS users
If you are using ServletExec 5.0 AS and you did not install it from the ArcIMS CD, you will need to verify that you are using ServletExec native adapter version 5.0c or greater. See http://www.newatlanta.com/biz/c/products/servletexec/self_help/faq/detail?faqId=94 for directions on determining the version of the ServletExec AS native adapter you have installed. ArcIMS Supports ServletExec 5.0 (patch level c or greater). If you do not have ServletExec 5.0 (patch level c or greater) installed you can obtain it from the ArcIMS CD or from the New Atlanta Web site.
ArcIMS Manager and Java Viewers require a system registered Java 2 Platform Standard Edition Java Runtime Environment (J2SE JRE) version 1.3.1 or higher. J2SE JRE 1.3.1_03, 1.3.1_04, 1.4.0_01 and 1.4.0_03 are NOT supported for use with ArcIMS 9.0. A J2SE JRE does not have to be installed prior to installing ArcIMS, the post installation setup will provide you with the opportunity to install and configure a system registered J2SE JRE version 1.4.2.
Note: J2SE JRE 1.3.1_03, 1.3.1_04, 1.4.0_01 and 1.4.0_03 are NOT supported for use with ArcIMS 9.0
Note: J2SE JRE is not needed if J2SE SDK 1.3.1 or higher is installed on the computer.
For the latest information on ArcIMS system requirements, see support.esri.com
The following software is required to use the ArcIMS Service Administrator:

Internet Explorer 6 or higher, and MDAC 2.5 is required for ArcIMS ArcMap Server. If you do not have Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.5 or higher, the install will optionally let you install it. You must obtain and install Internet Explorer 6 or higher.
The following software is required to use the ArcMap Server:
To serve an .mxd file using ArcIMS, the map document must have been created using ArcGIS 8.2 or higher.
To serve a .pmf file using ArcIMS, the file must have been created using ArcGIS 8.3 or higher.
ArcIMS Spatial server and ArcIMS ArcMap Server require an ArcGIS authorization file for use.
The following software is required to use the Metadata Explorer:

Notes concerning Windows 2000:
Service Pack 3 is recommended for Windows 2000.
Notes concerning Windows NT 4.0:
Microsoft Windows NT Option Pack (Microsoft Transaction Server 2.0). See http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/NT4OptPk/default.asp for download information.
It is strongly recommend that a patch for CRYPT32.DLL be applied on Windows NT 4.0 platforms. The patch fixes a hang encountered when shutting down a process that has connected to a secure server using SSL. Please refer to the following URL for more information:http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q238/9/34.ASP
See ESRI Knowledge Base article 24124 for more information on additional third party packages the ArcIMS ActiveX Connector requires.
