WLMSCPFS 3.5.4 not working on a WIN2000 Server System

[art]

I replaced the older version 3.5.3 with the latest version 3.5.4 and rebooted the system. Unfortunately all the modalities do no more see the worklist server. No option was changed:

d:\dicom\wlmscpfs.exe -cs1 -dfp C:\dicom\worklist 104

Any Idea what is wrong

BTW: replacing the new file with the old one and everything works fine again.

Kind regards

What do you mean by "do no more see"?

Setting the verbose mode -v it is obvious that the modalities do correspond with the worklist but that the answer is not the same as with the old version. Therefore it seemed to the radiologists that the new worklist did not work:

Thanks for advice

Try option --disable-file-reject (-dfr).

Thanks for the advice which cured the symptoms.

Suggestion: Instead of "enable file rejection" as the default option I would prefer the "disable file rejection" to ensure backward compatibility.

Kind regards

If your problem is caused by missing type 2 elements, there will be a fix with the next release. If your worklist file are really incomplete you should add the missing elements.
