[xfjsuperking]

Hello
i do worklist query, using wlmscpfs.exe as the server.but it said :worklist file is incomplete.i don't know what is wrong with the worklist file,could someone give me a hand ,thaks in advance.

Hi,

Part 4 (section about Worklist information model) of the DICOM standard defines to which request attributes in a worklist query a server has to be able to respond. So wlmscpfs only accepts worklist files where all this (minimum) mandatory information is present. For some complete worklist files look into the examples that come with DCMTK.

If you know what you are doing you also can use option "--disable-file-reject" ("-dfr") to also accept incomplete worklist files.

FYI:

I looked at the examples from DCMTK 3.5.4, and wlmscpfs complained about them. I then used the www application to create a worklist entry, but it is also said to be incomplete.

Hi,

this is correct, we need to fix the example files (already on TODO list).

I am also getting incomplete worklist and file will be ignored. When this will be fixed.?

I am not able to check the worklist management properly using wlmscpfs

I guess that we'll do this for the next release (or earlier if time permits).

As I read somewhere on this forum all you need to do to get a complete worklist is to assure that your worklist contains all of the attributes checked to be present by wlmscpfs.

This is pointed out in wlfsim.h as description for the following function.

Code: Select all

Thank you Daniel.

I am using

wlmscpfs -v -dfp dcmtk/dcmwlm/wlistdb -dfr 1234

-dfr will reject the incomplete file problem. Now its working fine.
