Tip

Congratulations, you have completed the Database Setup Wizard. 

An XML file called palcentre.config will be created in the folder you specified during the install procedure (the default is C:\palCentre\). That file is very important. It should be backed up and we ask services to send it to us so that we can also keep it on our secured server. Please send this configuration file to pcoc@uow.edu.au (for PCOC) or pacop-data@uow.edu.au (for PACOP).  The Database Configure Wizard only needs to be run once to create and configure the palCentre database.  After this has been run, all palCentre clients can be configured pasting the palcentre.config file in the folder C:\palCentre\ or wherever was designated during installation.
