time out when sending from conquest

  • Hi


    im getting random timeouts from iqweb when recieving studies from conquest server
    im sending studies from remote branches to 2 local conquest servers ( 1 server couldnt handle the workload anymore) wich then forwards the studies to a iqweb server.
    the studies forwards corectly on the first conquest server but on the second 1 every now and then the studies will go incomplete as it times out from iq web.
    i have increased the time out on the conquest but doesnt help
    the only real difference in the 2 servers are os and conquest version


    conquest1 : winxp pro sp2 32bit , conquest server 1.4.12c
    conquest2 : win7 pro 64bit , conquest server 1.4.16


    as al 3 servers are local i have no idea why 1 will send 100% and the other will randomly timeout on sending
    the studies comes from the branches complete which use very slow lines with average 100ms lag to both conquest servers ( each server has its own set of branches to recieve from)
    the logs in conquest doesnt show any problem that i can see


    here are the dicom.ini files

  • Hi


    i have installed it from the newest release of conquest from the " Dicom server 1.4.16(g) released !" post
    and i updated the exe's from the zip file thats for production use


    not sure why mine doesn't show it has the (g) release when its running

  • Form my experience, I had such a weird behaviour (incomplete studies) when my CQ server tries to forward series to host (linux) that has huge CPU utilization and couldn't response well to tcp/ip requests.


    After turning off this host, Conquest restores its normal state. Very irrational from first look.


    Recheck your exportconverter section.
    Regards
    Bart
