Step 6. Configure PRT Services

By default PRT_DC is already configured as a service.

Usually only one service is configured per Tracking Model, which you are encouraged to use. There is an option for editing the pre-configured service to meet your requirements or you can configure additional services as needed.

Important: A Tracker service name cannot be used for more than one Tracker project on the same node.

If you change the service name it is highly recommended that you idtpop selected Tracker service files to confirm that the name has changed.
