## Starting the MaxDB X Server Without NI Support (Unix/Linux)

### Use

On UNIX/Linux, when the MaxDB X Server is started, the MaxDB NI Server is automatically started as a separate process to support the SAP NI network protocol.

If you use MaxDB outside of SAP systems, NI support is not necessary.

### Procedure

Use option –Y when starting the X Server:

x_server –Y start
