2. Configure Production Tracking (PRT)

Production Tracking (PRT) is a specialized database designed for the purpose of tracking products as they progress through a factory.

• This section provides some exercises that you will have to do on your own. However, it mainly provides detailed configuration descriptions, so you can have hands on practise configuring the many details involved with the PRT setup.
• Tracker provides a Wizard that takes you through the configuration steps. However, this tutorial does not use the Wizard, which is described in other Tracker documentation.
