UPS Processing Rule

Overview

A Unified Procedure Step (UPS) created using UPS on Store may be processed using a UPS Processing rule. Default LDAP configuration of archive is already pre-configured with UPS processing rules for :

• DICOM_EXPORT : export of received DICOM objects

Configuration

A rule for processing UPS may be configured either on :

• Archive Device level : Go to Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Device Extension -> Archive Device Extension -> Child Objects -> UPS Processing Rules and add one. This rule shall be applied on DICOM objects received by any AE.

• Archive Network AE level : Go to Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Child Objects -> Network AEs -> DCM4CHEE -> Network AE Extension -> Archive Network AE Extension -> Child Objects -> UPS Processing Rules and add one. This rule shall be applied on DICOM objects received by this AE.

• To process only those workitems which match with a certain Scheduled Workitem Code set the value to corresponding value of Scheduled Workitem Code from configured UPS on Store or UPS on HL7 rules. If this field is not configured with any values, this UPS Processor shall process all available created UPS records.

• If processing of a UPS fails for any reason, for eg. destination was down or not started in case of Export received DICOM instances, the Procedure Step State is set to CANCELED. To reschedule such records again, set Maximum Number of Rescheduling. By default, this field is set to 0 which implies that there is no rescheduling.
