Conquest 1.4.19c1 released

Hi Conquest users,

One week after releasing the new Conquest DICOM server version 1.4.19c, I provide an update 1.4.19c. Version 1.4.19c adds C-GET as DICOM service, a small built-in webserver, and provides several other fixes. Version 1.4.19c1 fixes small installer issues, adds a Weasis connector, and fixes a DICOM communication issue.

The web based installer (and other ways of compiling) for Linux users has been much improved, please try it again!

cd install

chmod 777 linux.sh

./linux.sh

You can download the release here:

http://ingenium.home.xs4all.nl…ver/dicomserver1419c1.zip

Can you please try it? Reporting of issues will be greatly appreciated.

As usual you can update by extracting dgate.exe or dgate64.exe and conquestdicomserver.exe, but also quite a few other files have changed - mainly in the web interface, lua code and installer.

Part of the source code is included, the full source code of the next release (1.5.0) can now be browsed on: https://github.com/marcelvanherk/Conquest-DICOM-Server

Here bug reports for 1.4.19c will be collected.

These are leftover bugs from earlier versions:

1) add LittleEndianExplicit to GUI connecting to dgate. Futured

2) Improve safety of sqlite by regular flushing. Futured, but users can change SqLite startup pragma for safer operation in 1.4.19c

3) Check these changes: 20140608 mvh Added BYTE PCid to CStoreRSP::Write; This change is under review: pcid does not seem to get the right value

4) brainix sample data fails to load from zip; maybe because of French folder names

5) sql server and access database ODBC install only work for 32 bits of dgate (e.g. disable 64 bits or create ODBC entry by hand)

6) install second server when service of first runs gives trouble - do an echo on the install button and fail if found - futured

7 ) last line of dicom.ini does not read if no CR (IndexDBF = 50) - futured

8 ) Publish about Docker release of Lance

9) GUI fails to run as user after install as service on server2012; does run as admin - futured

10) Implement web interface for batch anonymisation - futured

11) overlapvirtualget=0 breaks the virtual server operation (hardw) - futured

12) Thumbnail in MR confuses kpacs viewer (Dennis on mail) - futured. Not that KPACS viewer will be removed in gihub release.

13) wish: OperatorConsole.printf ("*** multiplex: connection terminated [%s]\n", CallingApTitle); Futured

14) color print server does not work. - futured, awaiting more information.

15) Forward compressed as j2(?) does not set transfer syntax UID correctly in transmitted image. This is an issue on dcm4che but has not been seen in conquest to conquest transmission.

16) browse tab does not work if user of server service and server gui are differerent.

1.4.19b leftover bugs

17) enpq reported random failure in 'process by after' mechanism (not confirmed)

23) validate that case insensitive query also matches lower case input. Validated on GitHib.

25) When opening a zip from web interface running on apache, the filename is not set correctly; it is when running from Ladle. Futured

26) use BaseDir on dgate to find all folders (now many use current folder, complicating installer development). Futured. Implemented for web interface on Github.

27) Create /usr/local/man.man1 folder to avoid error message in maklinux. Fixed on Github

28 ) The zerobrane studio integration installer currently does not work on Linux or Windows. Fixed in 1.4.19c1

Hi,

Sorry, an error in the makefile; add $SRC/luasocket/luasocket.a into line 47 in maklinux just as in line 39.

Note: fixed in 1.4.19c1

Marcel

Hi,

today (24 November), I updated a fixed version of 1.4.19c, called 1.4.19c1. See further above.

Just added dwv and Papaya viewers, see the forum.

Marcel

I have built and ran the 1.4.19c1 release with SQLite on:

windows XP SP3

windows 7

windows 8.1

Ubuntu 18

Debian 9.5

Fedora 29

Raspberrian 2.5

Some of the linux releases do require tweaking the install scripts as described above.

Hi,

Is there any error message that can shed some light?

Edit: can you also try:

Marcel

Jonathan Bravo,

thanks for the report; I must have lost my edit. It is now fixed on github.

Marcel

Hi Bart,

can you help me test another version with kpacs? Download here: http://ingenium.home.xs4all.nl…ate-1.5.0-alpha-test1.zip

It also print the following on the command line if you run the server with from the command prompt with "dgate(64) -v"

Monitoring for files in: e:\dicom1419b\data\incoming\
DGATE (1.5.0-alpha-test1, build ?, bits 64) is running as threaded server
Database type: built-in SQLite driver
MaxSubLength=32768

UPACS THREAD 1: STARTED AT: Tue Jan 08 19:01:02 2019

This should read what kpacs can do and adjust to it. Previously it was hardcoded to 4096, in 1.4.19c1 it is hardcoded to 16384. The value is printed here:

MaxSubLength=32768

Thanks,

Marcel

Hi,

in version 1.4.19d1, weasis is started with weasis_starter:

viewer = weasis_starter

studyviewer = weasis_starter

By the look of it, you have an older web installer.

Marcel

Hi,

first make sure you download http://ingenium.home.xs4all.nl…ver/dicomserver1419d1.zip. It contains all sources and executables for windows. If you are on unix, you can compile and install from the web page.

Marcel

Hi,

the web config or you need to add weasis_starter to exceptions.
