ArcIMS metadata server supports databases of differing versions at each release level. Ensure the system configuration before proceeding with metadata server installation.

Metadata server requires that both ArcIMS and ArcSDE be at the same version, such as ArcIMS 9.2 with ArcSDE 9.2.

· Oracle 8i, 9i
· SQL Server 2000
· DB2

ArcIMS 9.0
· Oracle 8i, 9i
· SQL Sever 2000
· DB2

ArcIMS 9.1
· Oracle 8i, 9i, 10g

Note:
Full Text Search (Catalog) must be installed with SQL Server. Ensure that Full Text Search is installed through the database software setup.

Oracle 10g is supported with the ArcSDE 9.1 for Oracle10gR2
