Understanding the 9.3 System Requirements

The ArcGIS Server 9.3 system requirements are available at

http://wikis.esri.com/wiki/display/ag93bsr/ArcGIS+Server. You can
access them from the ESRI Support page or ArcGIS Resource Center .
The system
requirements are now broken up by the dif ferent components of ArcGIS
Server,
which are the Server, Clients, Developer Solutions, and Database.
The components are the Server Object Manager (SOM) and
Server
Object Container (SOC). This section ( Server
Requirements) lists the various operating systems on which we
support the Server components and any limitations that we may have. For
example, if you’re interested in knowing if Windows Server 2008 is
supported,
go to the Server section, follow the “Supported Server Platforms” link and
you’ll find that it is supported. Then follow the “Operating System
Requirements and Limitations” link and you’ll find that for this operating
system there is a limitation if using the ArcGIS Server .NET Manager . In
addition to finding operating system limitations, you’ll also find any
specific
system requirements for running the Server component such as display
requirements and required library packages.
The components section ( Supported
Clients) lists different tools that we support in which you
can access services and applications from ArcGIS Server . Such tools
include
supported browsers and mobile devices.
The section (Developer
Solutions Requirements ) is where you’ll find system requirements
for the ArcGIS Server application developer frameworks (ADFs). This
includes
supported application/web servers, and integrated development
environment (IDE)
requirements for the W eb ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework, W eb
ADF for the
Java Platform, and Mobile ADF. For example, you’d like to run Internet
Information Server (IIS) as your web server for web applications
developed with
the Web ADF for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Check this section to

see that
IIS is supported and find which operating systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit)
we
support it running on.
The component consists of support for various relational
database management systems (RDBMS) that we support with ArcSDE.
This section ( Supported
Relational Database Management Systems (ArcSDE) ) indicates, by
RDBMS,
the supported database version and operating systems. It will also include
any
specific database requirements and operating system limitations. For
example,
if you’d like to know if PostgreSQL is supported with ArcGIS Server 9.3,
go to
this section of the ArcGIS Server system requirements to see a list of
RDBMSs
supported. There you’ll find a link to PostgreSQL and, if followed, all the
specific system requirements for running ArcSDE on PostgreSQL can be
found.
In general, all the ArcGIS system requirements pages have a consistent
look and
feel. Navigation throughout the pages is also similar . By default, the
system
requirements will display the 9.3 requirements. If you’d like to see support
for previous versions, go to the top of the page and follow the link where it
indicates, “Need info for 9.2, 9.1 or earlier versions?”
For every product system requirements page, there is a T able of Contents
at the
top of the page that consists of the dif ferent sections of the page. For
example, for ArcGIS Server, it contains the dif ferent components of ArcGIS
Server. Follow these links to take you directly to the section in the page.
Click the red arrow beside the section header to take you back up to the
Table
of Contents.
Finally, general information can also be found in the “Related ESRI
Materials”
section, which typically includes the ESRI Supported Environment Policy
and
System Design Strategies that are appropriate for all ArcGIS products.
