== Implementation == The core of ArcIMS consists of a [[spatial database|spatial]] server which processes most of the map-related services. On the server side, ArcIMS connector sits on top of a web server and ArcIMS component and Application server works behind the scenes. On the client side, the viewers can be thin clients, custom clients or [[Esri]] desktop applications such as ArcMap, ArcExplorer, or ArcPad. ArcIMS uses Esri's [[ArcXML]] to receive and respond to requests from the client. The data behind ArcIMS is usually stored in [[Shapefile]] format (an [[open specification]]) or in an [[ArcSDE]] [[RDBMS]] database. The '''Data Delivery Extension''' (DDE), an extension to the ArcIMS product, delivers data to users in a data format and coordinate system of their own choosing, in order to have access to data in a format compatible with their local GIS applications. Esri no longer supports ArcIMS,<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcims | title = ArcIMS | website = esri.com | publisher = Esri | accessdate = 2014-10-05 | quote = ArcIMS will no longer be supported with the release of ArcGIS 10.1. }} </ref> having replaced its functionality with ArcGIS for Server<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcims|title = Enterprise GIS System | ArcGIS Enterprise β Geospatial Platform}}</ref> in 2010 and with ArcGIS Online (AGOL).
