C FIND AE same as C MOVE AE and or C STORE AE

This page briefly describes the tests how one can use C-FIND, C-MOVE and C-STORE SCP provided by same single AE on external archive.

Configuration

Configure Remote Application Entity for an external archive.

Using Archive UI

• Add a Web Application to use Query, Query Count, Retrieve, Retrieve Matching and Reject instances from/on external archive : Go to Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Device Extension -> Child Objects -> Web Application -> Add new Web Application. Specify
  • Web Application name
  • Web Service Path : /dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/dimse/EXT_AET (Replace DCM4CHEE and EXT_AET by AE of your internal (if renamed) and external archive respectively)
  • Web Service Classes : QIDO_RS, QIDO_COUNT, MOVE, MOVE_MATCHING and REJECT.
  • AE Title : DCM4CHEE (Replace DCM4CHEE by AE of your internal archive) and Save.

Using LDAP

One may either

• create a LDIF file (e.g.):

    version: 1
    
    dn: dcmWebAppName=DCM4CHEE-EXT-QUERY-MOVE-REJECT,dicomDeviceName=dcm4chee-arc,cn=Devices,cn=DICOM Configuration,dc=dcm4che,dc=org
    dcmWebServiceClass: QIDO_RS
    dcmWebServiceClass: QIDO_COUNT
    dcmWebServiceClass: MOVE
    dcmWebServiceClass: MOVE_MATCHING
    dcmWebServiceClass: REJECT
    objectClass: dcmWebApp
    dicomAETitle: DCM4CHEE
    dcmWebAppName: DCM4CHEE-EXT-QUERY-MOVE-REJECT
    dcmWebServicePath: /dcm4chee-arc/aets/DCM4CHEE/dimse/EXT_AET
  

  and import it to the LDAP Server by using the ldapmodify command line utility.

• or use the Add Attribute... and Add Value... function of Apache Directory Studio to add attributes on Device level (e.g.: dicomDeviceName=dcm4chee-arc2) in the Archive Configuration.

Refer to Web Application
to understand the description of attributes.

Go to the Control tab on Configuration page in archive UI and reload the configuration.

Tests

• Go to Navigation page -> Studies tab, select DCM4CHEE-EXT-QUERY-MOVE-REJECT from Web App Service dropdown and proceed with :
  • SUBMIT : To see list of studies on external archive.
  • COUNT : To see count of studies on external archive.
  • On any of the Study from the list :
    • Retrieve Study : To retrieve study from external archive to a remote destination (eg. storescp utility)
      • Synchronously : Retrieve study is performed immediately from external archive
      • Asynchronously : Retrieve study from external archive is queued. To perform asynchronous retrieve, select a queue name.
    • Show Series : To see series of study in external archive.
    • Reject Study : To reject a study from an external archive.
  • On any of the Series of the Study from the list :
    • Retrieve Series : To retrieve series from external archive to a remote destination (eg. storescp utility)
      • Synchronously : Retrieve series is performed immediately from external archive
      • Asynchronously : Retrieve series from external archive is queued. To perform asynchronous retrieve, select a queue name.
    • Show Instances : To see instances of series in external archive.
    • Reject Series : To reject a series of the study from an external archive.
  • On any of the Instances of Series from the list :
    • Retrieve Instance : To retrieve instance from external archive to a remote destination (eg. storescp utility)
      • Synchronously : Retrieve instance is performed immediately from external archive
      • Asynchronously : Retrieve instance from external archive is queued. To perform asynchronous retrieve, select a queue name.
    • Reject Instance : To reject an instance of the series from an external archive.
  • From More functions dropdown :
    • Retrieve Matching Studies : To retrieve all matching studies from an external archive based on filters selected in Navigation page - Studies tab
