auto delete studies?

Hi,

you can change the order in which studies are deleted but not the trigger mechanism.

LRUSort: Normally: patients entered into the servers database girst will be deleted or archived
first. By setting this option to studydate, patients with the oldest last studydate will be selected
for deletion or archival first. Can also be set to patientBir, or AcessTime. Default "".

But you could run, e.g., as a scheduled task, a batch file that would run a command like this. It is up to you how to get the last date computed.

Thanks a bunch guys

Hi,

with deletestudies , it's possible to sort by modality?

For example I would like to delete old exams three years, but keep the "MG" 4 years.

Hi Didier,

this calls for Lua scripting. In 1.4.17 you can develop Lua scripts from a nice IDE and a sample delete script is included that should be fairly easy to modify.

Marcel

thank you Marcel,

I'll test it.

Hi

I have 3 MAGDevices 0-2. I would like to fill MAG0 up to 10GB an then use the next one MAG1 and then MAG2.
To do this I used Magdevicefullthreshhold=10000 . This should do it I think.
Does this setting work for all MAGDevices or can I set it for each one seperately?

What does happen when all drives are full to the extend of 10GB, will it stop accepting/writing data?
If so what would be the best way to free up space on a regular basis while not risking to loose incoming data and at the same time use the available space? - NightlyCleanThreshhold of 12000MB?

NO, THERE IS ONLY ONE SETTING

What does happen when all drives are full to the extend of 10GB, will it stop accepting/writing data

THE LAST DRIVE WILL FILL FULLY UP, THEN IT STOPS ACCEPTING DATA

NightlyCleanThreshold defaults sorts on incoming date (deletes oldest first). It works, however, only on MAG0.....

Your setup will require some scripting to delete data from all MAG devices I am afraid.

Marcel

Ok thank you Marcel.

Then I will first start filling the drives up until 15GB left and stop deleting until then. In the meantime I will try and figure something out.
