How can DIMSE_storeProvider() fail?

[AlreadyGoogled]

Hi everyone,

I call:

Code: Select all

OFCondition cond = DIMSE_storeProvider(...);
if (cond.bad()) {
    sprintf(...);
}

For one transfer this fails (has been working fine for months) with the error:

DIMSE: Presentation Contexts of Command and Data differ.

Can anyone let me know what this means, and how it could have been caused? Is it because the data in the images is no good?

Thanks

This means that the sender is violating the DICOM network protocol in a severe way: the two parts that make up a DICOM C-STORE-RQ message (command set and data set) have different presentation context identifiers, something that must never ever happen in the DICOM network protocol.
