Automatic forward problems

RichardTrouncer · Aug 26th 2011

We're having issues with the automatic forward. It works from Eclipse to Pinnacle, but fails intermittently the other way round. It then often crashes Conquest. Sending the images to Conquest then forwarding them on manually seems to work every time.

It's a Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 server) installation.

This is an extract of the acrnema file (with ip replaced with x)

Code

RPY_VA_DD               x.x.x.x   106             unRPYS_P3TPS00            x.x.x.x 104             un

And here's the section of the dicom.ini file

Code

ImportConverters = 2ImportConverter0 = ifequal "%c", "ECLIPSE"; { forward to RPY_VA_DD; destroy; }ImportConverter1 = ifequal "%c", "PINNACLE"; { forward to RPYS_P3TPS00; destroy; }

Here's a typical chunk of failed forward from the log file. As you can see it doesn't work, then suddenly starts doing so. Very odd. Around 26 or 150 images arrived.

I can't find any other reference to this, apologies if it's already been covered.

I'm off until Tuesday, so can't answer any supplementary questions until then. Thanks

Hi,

you may be flooding the receiving system too fast. Try setting

ForwardAssociationLevel = SERIES

This will keep one connection open for mutliple images.
