  • Error Messages On Deletes (+new filenamesyntax code)

    Hi Tom,


    Get the dgate1412 code and compare. We added a BindField to all queries in several files even if the data is not used (See Nasty bug in the update history). Prior, an old pointer would be used causing 'random' trouble. Then, you may try with and without BDE - this affects GUI operation.


    You might also look if your custom directory structure could be made with the fairly new flexible filenamesyntax structure - using fields like %p etc.

  • brning patient data to dvd

    Hi,


    There are some options that can move (oldest entered) data to another disk or prepare it for burning to a DVD. We use it to fill 2 pioneer 600 DVD jukeboxes.


    Here is a short manual (use options with care, test on test server first).


    In DICOM.INI:


    Code
    JUKEBOXDevices           = 1JUKEBOXDevice0           = C:\dicomserver\Jukebox0\dv0_%04d\CACHEDevices             = 1CACHEDevice0             = C:\dicomserver\Cache%d\dv0_%04d\


    These options create a device for up to 10000 DVDs and a device for temporary storing the data. Beware of the %d syntax. This is how it should be!


    Then a simple way of moving data to another directory:


    Code
    mkdir c:\dicomserver\jukebox0mkdir c:\dicomserver\cache0dgate --selectlruforarchival:4300000,MAG0dgate --movedatatodevice:JUKEBOX0.1,MAG0.Archiving


    This batch file should be run in the dicomserver application directory. It first creates the jukebox and cache root directories. The first dgate instructs the running server to select 4.300.000 kb of data on device MAG0. This data is marked by renaming the device to MAG0.Archiving. The second command moves the data to the jukebox directory (which must be an ordinary writeable directory). The data winds up in subdirectory DV0_0001 - this corresponds to device JUKEBOX0.1.


    It is a little more complex when you need to store the data on an intermediate place to burn it to DVD - here the CACHEDevice comes into play:


    Code
    mkdir c:\dicomserver\jukebox0

    mkdir c:\dicomserver\cache0

    

    

    dgate --selectlruforarchival:4300000,MAG0

    dgate --preparebunchforburning:JUKEBOX0.1,MAG0

    xcopy /s/e c:\dicomserver\cache0\dv0_0001\*.* c:\dicomserver\jukebox0\dv0_0001

    dgate --deletebunchafterburning:JUKEBOX0.1


    Here the data is selected as before, then moved to the CACHE device. The xcopy command emulates burning a DVD. The final dgate compares the CACHE and JUKEBOX data and deletes the cache data if OK.


    When writing this reply, I noted that there are errors in the dgate -? manual for some of the commands! Also dgate --restoremagflags: does not work, use dgate -au instead. These problems will be fixed in later releases.


    What these options do NOT do:


    create a DICOMDIR
    allow any other way of selecting patients then on order of entering the database.


    Regards,


    Marcel
