Getting only .dcm files into conquest server through a WatchFolder Location

Takisi manganji · Mar 21st 2024

WatchFolder = C:\Users\dICOM\Desktop\New folder\

this is the watch folder loaction set in dicom.ini , now is there any lua code or configuration where the watchfolder only takes the .dcm files to conquest diacom and ignore the rest.(any other files or folder. which will be left) that i can add into my dicom ini

here is my full dicom.ini code

# This file contains configuration information for the DICOM server

# Do not edit unless you know what you are doing

[sscscp]

MicroPACS = sscscp

# Network configuration: server name and TCP/IP port#

MyACRNema = RTETT

TCPPort = 5808

# Host, database, username and password for database

SQLHost = localhost

SQLServer = D:\DICOM\Data\dbase\conquest.db3

Username =

Password =

SqLite = 1

DoubleBackSlashToDB = 0

UseEscapeStringConstants = 0

# Configure server

ImportExportDragAndDrop = 1

KeepAlive = 60

ZipTime = 05:

UIDPrefix = 1.2.826.0.1.3680043.2.135.738109.71228334

EnableComputedFields = 1

FileNameSyntax = 4

# Configuration of compression for incoming images and archival

DroppedFileCompression = un

IncomingCompression = un

ArchiveCompression = as

# For debug information

PACSName = AERSB

OperatorConsole = 127.0.0.1

DebugLevel = 0

# Configuration of disk(s) to store images

MAGDeviceThreshhold = 10024

MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 30

MAGDevices = 1

MAGDevice0 = D:\dicom\data\

WatchFolder = C:\Users\dICOM\Desktop\New folder\

Would be really helpful for me

Hi, I am sorry,

it processes and deletes anything it finds, this is the mechanism by which it knows it is done. Ignoring files would lead to endless retries.

Hello,

To filter only .dcm files in the WatchFolder for the ConQuest DICOM server, you can consider implementing a Lua script that checks the file extension before processing. While the ConQuest server does not have a built-in feature to filter by file extension, you can use Lua scripting to achieve this.

Here’s an example of how you might write a Lua script to check for .dcm files.

Code

function IsDcmFile(filename)
  return filename:match("%.dcm$") ~= nil
end

function OnStoredInstance(instance, sopclass, transfer_syntax)
  if not IsDcmFile(instance) then
    Delete(instance)
    return
  end
  -- process the file as usual if it is a .dcm file
end

Display More

In this script, the IsDcmFile function checks if the given filename ends with .dcm. The OnStoredInstance function is called by the ConQuest server for each file in the WatchFolder. If the file is not a .dcm file, it is deleted; otherwise, it is processed as usual.

You would need to add this Lua script to your dicom.ini configuration under a new section [lua] and reference the script file using the ScriptFile parameter.

Please note that modifying server scripts and configurations should be done with caution and ideally tested in a safe environment before applying to a production system.
