Hi,

can you help me for sending directly hl7 file to my DCM instance with batch script ?
Is it possible from any OS system ?
Or is an external application mandatory ?

thank you.

You can use the dcm4che hl7snd tool.

Thank you.
Sorry for the stupid question. I've looked at the git repo.
Is it something I have to install ? Or native linux commands ?

Download here - has scripts to run the java apps on Windows or Linux (and MAC)

P.S. There is also a dcm4che-tools docker image available. e.g to send one of the provided test HL7 files to dcm4chee (running on <DCM4CHEE-HOSTNAME>) the command would be:

docker run --rm dcm4che/dcm4che-tools hl7snd -c<DCM4CHEE-HOSTNAME>:2575 /opt/dcm4che/etc/testdata/hl7/ORM^O01-GeneralOrder.hl7
