auto routing/forwarding

try this one

ExportConverters = 1
ExportCallingAE0 = AE_TITLE_CT
ExportConverter0 = forward to STENTOR

or

ExportConverters = 1
ExportModality0 = CT
ExportConverter0 = forward to STENTOR

So if I wanted to store all images to Conquest then forward to Stentor it would be something like:

ExportConverters = 1
ExportModality = *
ExportConverter = forward to STENTOR

???

Unsure of wildcard usage in "ExportModality"

(I "lost" my testserver box to the front desk. Sigh)

If you just want to forward everything, you skip the filter line, that is.

ExportConverters = 1
ExportConverter0 = forward to STENTOR

Is there a functionality for "NOT" within exportconverters?

Like this:

ExportConverters = 1
ExportModality = CT
ExportCalledAE0 = !CONQUEST
ExportConverter = forward to PACS

Just wondering...

If you use true sql servers like mssql, mysql or postgres, exportfilter may be used like this if you can write your filter on database fields.

Have a linux system running Postgresql 8.1.9 running. Have also a windows system running MS-SQL.

On the windows system we are able to use something like this:
ExportModality2 = CT
ExportFilter2 = Institutio NOT LIKE 'Sacred%'
ExportConverter2 = forward to OTHERPACS_CT

It works well for checking to see if an exam has our "institution name" in the dicom field 8,80 and if not, it forwards the study to a different system.

It isn't working on the Linux/Postgres system, for some reason. Can you tell me if this format would be supported?

According to the Postgre documentation, in a query I could use:

Institutio NOT LIKE 'Sacred%'
or
Institutio NOT ILIKE 'Sacred%' (case insensitive)

and that should do the trick.

What could cause this to fail?

Tim

Try dgate --debuglevel:4 and see what query is executed. That might solve the mystery.

I think I'm figuring something out and remembering a little.....but if you know the quick answer I'd love it.

By default, Dicom field 0008,0080 "Institution Name" isn't one that you store on import. On the windows system, I think I may have added a line to the dicom.sql file and added that field to the database, so that it existed on import and it could place that tag in the database. On the Linux system I haven't done that.

I just edited the dicom.sql file and added it there, but I'm not sure how to add the field in the database with Postgres. Is there a line I can add to some file to regen the database and add this field?

Tim

Ahhh, I did it. I had to remove the reference to the 0008,1040 line in dicom.sql, and then add it as 0008,0080, and then regen the database. Now all is well. Thanks for watching over me though!
Tim

this will do the trick

ExportConverters = 2
ExportConverter0 = forward to STENTOR
ExportConverter1 = forward to MagicView
