auto-forward

[Algie Rosario]

Hi I'm having problem of understanding of auto-forwarding dicom objects from one Pacs server to another.

Here's the situation:

I can successfully send to either the first or second PACS server directly. Can dicom echo each other.

Now every time modality send to first PACS it must also auto-forward to second PACS.

I tried the DICOM SEND function to test sending to first PACS.

What i have tried was to change the jmx-console/service=Forward with the following attributes:

ForwardingRules                                : [calling=dcmApollo]dcmAlan

                                                            NONE

ForwardOnInstanceLevelFromAETitles : NONE

EnablePatientUpdated, EnableSeriesUpdated, IgnoreNotLocalRetrievable: All is set to TRUE

ForwardModifiedToAETitles                 : dcmAlan 

And in my forward.xsl, i have this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml"/>

  <!--

   The following parameters are made available by the application:

   source-aet   - AET of the Storage SCU from which the series was received

   retrieve-aet - AET of the Query Retrieve SCP from which the series can be retrieved

   year  - The current year

   month - The current month (1=Jan, 2=Feb ..)

   date  - The current day of the month

   day   - The current day of the week (0=Sun, 1=Mon ..)

   hour  - The current hour of the day

   

   These parameters may be to define rules that depend on the source or retrieve AET

   or on the current date or time.

   

   An example of the parameters that are made available to this stylesheet is as follows:

   <xsl:param name="source-aet">DCMSND</xsl:param>

   <xsl:param name="retrieve-aet">DCM4CHEE</xsl:param>

   <xsl:param name="month">4</xsl:param>

   <xsl:param name="day">1</xsl:param>

   <xsl:param name="hour">15</xsl:param>

  <xsl:param name="source-aet"/>

  <xsl:param name="retrieve-aet"/>

  <xsl:param name="year"/>

  <xsl:param name="month"/>
