Perform the following steps to setup the LEADTOOLS Worklist WCF testing environment:
- Run the PACSConfig tool to setup the servers for testing the WCF Worklist components. Make sure that the "Install Broker Host Add-in" checkbox is checked. This will install the Broker-Host to the Main Server. If there is a conflict with the port, make sure and change the Broker Host add-in port number.
