Marcel,

I was hoping to shed some more information on this. Perhaps this log will explain why this is happening? I highlighted the text to what I think the error that is causing this. If the images can be received initially but after a few minutes (server is running, can echo conquest) this error appears. On the Gateway (Or any other software I try and send) I get "Unknown Status 0x110" or "Error Returned SCU COM." Unless I close Conquest and reopen.

Thanks again for your assistance!

It is possible that I didn't close the GUI. Right now it is staying as because I keep checking it. But, I have been troubleshooting this since I last posted.

Sorry to keep messaging you about this...

The issue I seem to be having is, I have an auto-route rule setup in my gateway that sends to my two servers and then to the Conquest (Dicom Format). After about 2 minutes, Conquest won't receive anymore images but I can ping and echo the Conquest. I have to stop the server and restart then it will start to receive again. The more troubling issue I'm having is with the MRI's for some reason. I keep getting this SCU COM error on the gateway.

Would you know why it will stop receiving and have issue with the MR's?

Thanks ever so much again!

I'm not sure this will help but here are some log files to when this happens.

Thank you again for the information Marcel.

I'm having a very odd issue. Once images/studies are sent to the Conquest server and received, Conquest will no longer accept anymore images from the gateway. (Receive error received SCU COM) I noticed that the dicom.ini file changes on it's own. (I made a copy of the .ini file and just paste it back into the directory when this happens, I shut down the server process)

Here is what I have when it works:

# Configuration of disk(s) to store images
MAGDeviceThreshhold = 0
MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 30
IgnoreMAGDeviceThreshold = 0
MAGDevices = 2
MAGDevice0 = C:\users\archive\downloads\dicomserver1417\data\
MAGDevice1 = \\diskstation\archive\images\
ImportExportDragandDrop = 1
ImportConverter0 = storage MAG1
NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveTarget =

But after studies are received it changes to this:

# Configuration of disk(s) to store images
MAGDeviceThreshhold = 0
MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 30
IgnoreMAGDeviceThreshold = 0
MAGDevices = 2
MAGDevice0 = Z:\
MAGDevice1 = \\diskstation\archive\images\
NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveTarget =

Do you happen to know why this is happening?

As always, thank you for your time and information Marcel.

Marcel,

Thank you very much for the information!

I setup the NAS today and everything is working, I'm just importing into database (NAS) so that will take a day and then I will re-initialize the database.

When I open Conquest I receive this error "Added missing \ to MagDevice1 - please fix dicom.ini" but, I click OK and it works as mentioned above. I don't see anything abnormal with the information in the ini file in regards to the directory \\. If it's okay again, this is my ini configuration that you mentioned I use. (Also, should something be after = and NightlyMove Target?)

Configuration of disk(s) to store images
MAGDevices = 2
MAGDevice0 = C:\users\archive\downloads\dicomserver1417\data\
MAGDevice1 = \\diskstation\archive\images
ImportExportDragandDrop = 1

ImportConverter0 = storage MAG1
NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveThreshhold = 0
NightlyMoveTarget =

Thank you very much as always Marcel.

Hi Marcel,

I just wanted to make sure I configure this correctly, do you mind if I ask you what I am changing/adding here in the .ini file? I am receiving the NAS today and I am placing this into production later this week.

Do I just add what you suggested to what is below?

Here is my configuration:

# Configuration of disk(s) to store images
MAGDeviceThreshhold = 0
MAGDeviceFullThreshHold = 30
IgnoreMAGDeviceThreshold = 0
MAGDevices = 1
MAGDevice0 = C:\users\archive\downloads\dicomserver1417\data\
NightlyCleanThreshhold = 0

Here is what you suggested.

ImportExportDragandDrop = 1
ImportConverter0 = storage MAG2

Thank you Marcel, much appreciated.

I believe I understand, I will configure the ini file to do that. The MAG would be the drive that would be default to the database. (For receiving.)

Thanks again!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

I setup a workstation (500GB HDD) to try as a test and it worked flawlessly. My plan is to have three 2TB Hard Drives (=6TB RAID 0) installed on the workstation (W7 64) and configure a 8-10TB NAS with RAID 5/redundancy for growth.

I did see on the configuration page of Conquest that I can create multiple directories. Is their a way for me to set Conquest that all incoming images go to the NAS drives instead of the C:\ drive where the OS resides? Or would you suggest a different configuration?

Currently, I have about 3-4TB worth of images which I was planning on importing into the workstation drives (6TB) and just add a directory for each drive. Would Conquest see each drive simultaneously if I did a search for MRN# or would I have to search each directory at a time? (C:\, D:\, E:\, F:\ <(NAS would be F:\)

Thank you very much for any assistance in advance.
