Required PRT Configuration Files

The required configuration files must be configured in order to run your tracking model.

All of these files have a .dat extension, with the exception of the last one, which has a .cfg extension.

Files with a .dat extension are binary; files with a .cfg extension are in text format.

File Name	File Definition	Description
prt_sysdef	PRT System Definitions	Sets the queue sizes for the ports used by the Data Collector, Data Service and Application Interface subsystems. Minimum recommended size is 10 for each port.
prt_service	PRT Service Record	Identifies each PRT Service in the tracking model.
prt_intproc	PRT Interested Process/Data Provider Mapping	Enables related processes to receive updates from the tracking model. Both prt_grd requires this file to be configured in order to function properly.
prt_group	PRT Group	Identifies the Groups in your tracking model. Because every region must belong to a group, this file must be configured.
prt_region	PRT Region	Identifies the regions in your tracking model, their primary and secondary types and other important information.
prt_grp_reg	PRT Group Tracking Region	Ties the tracking regions to their tracking groups.
prt_item_typ	PRT Item Type	Defines the item types, classes and parent-child relationships between items.
prt_route	PRT Route	Identifies routes between regions and associations with transfer points.
prt_attributes.cfg	PRT Attribute Labels	Configures a set of attributes for all items or for items in a specific class. This is not a required file, but is recommended.
