Configuration of query/retrieve

[Jeff Berry]

Good day all,

I've got dcm4chee 2.17 installed on ubuntu 16 and it's working a treat for most things.  Data sent from the scanner is accepted, and the scanner can query the data.  However, retrieval is failing.   It looks like some sort of configuration error, but I can't figure out where the problem is arising.   We've changed the called AET and the PACS is accepting the data, the query runs find, as near as I can tell, and then this happens:

Is this a configuration problem on the PACS or on the scanner console?  Any pointers would be gratefully accepted ...

did you change the DCM4CHEE AET to NEWAET cause it seems like it tries to open an association to the DCM4CHEE AET ?

[fleetwoodfc]

I suspect this is an issue on the PACS. Did you use the "updateAETitle" method to change the dcm4chee AE?  If you have a large number of studies this method can take a long time to complete as it has to update 'retrieve_aets' in every study, series and instance database record:

If the specified AE Title is associated with file systems, also the Retrieve AE Title of these file systems is updated to the new value as the Retrieve AE Titles associated with Instances, Series and Studies that have files on this file systems.
