Hi,

I found out the solution.

ExportConverter0 = ifequal "%u", "CONQ"; stop; between "01", "02";{ifnumgreater "%d[14,15]", "45"; defer;}; between "02", "03";{ifnumless "%d[14,15]", "15"; defer;}; forward to STORESCP;
ExportModality0 = *
ExportCalledAE0 = CONQ
ExportCallingAE0 = STORESCU

it seems that between means "greater or equal" and "less then" and "not greater or equal" and "less or equal".

Hi,

after intensive tests, I mean your proposition does not work in the way I need. I need much more control possibilties. I think it is easier to develop granulate "between" function in the way I describe in my postings before.

Hi,
now I understand

between "9", "10"; {ifnumless "%d[N,M]", "30"; defer}; xxxx

In the moment it seems, that it is not possible to exclude a time range from 01:45 am to 02:30 am. With your solution it is possible to exclude a time range from 2:00 am to 02:15 am and 01:45 to by comparing the minutes. Is there a possibilty to compare two values with an logical AND?

Hi,
I'm not sure, that I'm understang the syntax of

between "9", "10"; {ifnumless "%d[N,M]", "30"; defer}; xxxx

What does ifnumless do? How is it working. I Understand ifgreater or ifequal, but ifnumless??

Marcel,
if I configure Conquest in the following way:

ForwardAssiciationLevel = STUDY
ForwardAssociationCloseDelay = 5
ForwardAssociationRefreshDelay = 3600
ForwardAssociationRelease = 1
ForwardCollectDelay = 600

ExportConverters = 2

ExportConverter0 = ifequal "%u", "CONQ"; stop; between "09:00", "10:00"; defer; forward study to STORESCP;
ExportModality0 = *
ExportCalledAE0 = CONQ
ExportCallingAE0 = STORESCU

As you see, I define a ForwardCollectDelay = 600. When starts this time? With the beginning of receiving images from STORESCU or after receiving the last image (of the same study), which comes frome STORESCU? If it starts with the beginning of receiving images from STORESCU you have to make sure to receive alle images of entire study before the ForwardCollectdelay ends. This is a problem, if have a slow data connection.

Hi,

I think it makes sense to granulate such intervals. One hour is a long time. In my case, I have a SDSL connection between two locations, which will be interruppted and restarted at night (exactly at 01:59 am). So, in my project I have two exclude this time (better a time range) for forwarding images to prevent Conquest errors. If I could exclude only hole hours, I have to configure a exclude range from "1" to "3". Two hours! A long time for small connection.

or, is there another solution?

Marcel,
I've a question about the export rules:

In the dicom.ini file I configure a export rule:

ExportConverter0 = ifequal "%u", "CONQ"; stop; between "9", "9:30"; defer; forward to STORESCP;
ExportModality0 = *
ExportCalledAE0 = CONQ
ExportCallingAE0 = STORESCU

Is it possible to write

between "9", "9:30"; defer;

or is only possible to write

between "9", "10"; defer; (in this case)

I need e excluding time for forwarding images from 01:45 am to 02:15 am. Is it possible to configure?

Hi,
it is working! Thank's!

Marcel,

I'm using Conquest to receive and forward images. First I send MG images with Offis 3.5.4 tool storescu.exe to conquest. it is using the max PDU size of 16372. Conquest receives the images and forwards it to the Offis tool 3.5.4 storescp.exe which is also running in a command tool box (like storescu.exe). I started these tools with the following parameters:

storescu -v -d -aet CONQ -aec STORESCU 172.21.122.136 104 test1.dcm

storescp -v -d +xi -pdu 16372 -aet STORESCP 104

CONQ 172.21.122.136 5678 un

ExportConverter0 = forward to STORESCP; between "2", "23"; defer;

After sending images from storescu to conquest and then to storescp, the storescp ends with the message association aborted instead of association released. If I'm using your test tool IQ_DICOMTest.exe the association of the storescp ends always with association released.

Why?
