  • Redirect incoming files to NAS

    A follow-up: I think I know why I had these difficulties setting the import filter up:


    1) The login ID and password to access the NAS were not the same when running ConquestServer as a service with nobody logged in to the computer, compared to when using the GUI while logged in to the computer. I found that the ID and passwd can be configured for the service (of course, this setting gets lost when uninstalling/reinstalling the service via the Conquest GUI).


    2) An unexpected behaviour of the ConquestServer: it seems if a patient previously was stored to MAG0, if you then resend the same patient, it keeps being stored to MAG0, even if the import filter is pointing to MAG1. Is this true, and if so, is this behaviour intentional?

  • Redirect incoming files to NAS

    Hi,
    Suddenly, the solution with Data.Storage = 'MAG1' worked, but I do not know why.
    Possibly, the failure could have been caused by: 1) I had more than one ocurrence of 'FileNameSyntax =' in dicom.ini, 2) I did not have a 'ImportCalledAE0 = ...'-statement after 'ImportConverters = 1', or 3) I had the dicom.ini open in Notepad while testing. :?:


    The solution 'Data.Storage = 1' did not work.


    Anyway, the forwarding works as expected now. Many thanks!

    Hi Marcel,
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it did not work. Data still got written to c:\dicomserver\data, not to the network path. I also tried the 'storage' command (without using lua), but the result did not change. I use Association.Called, not Association.Calling, but I assume that doesn't matter.
    I'm now thinking about setting up a 2nd ConquestServer for handling this request, but this seems a very awkward solution.

    The Server status:

    [lua]
    ImportConverter0 = if Association.Called=='SLASK' then Data.Storage = 'MAG1' end

  • Redirect incoming files to NAS

    Hi,
    I have tried to set up an export converter to move files with a specific AEtitle to a directory on a NAS server (e.g. \\myNAS\myShare\), but without success.
    I want the files to be moved without making a copy in the data directory, and I also want all necessary subdirectories (patient, study, series etc) to be created according to the FileNameSyntax. Is this possible at all?


    Help much appreciated!
