Error "Item already contained by Sequence" when receiving study

[Clédio Moreira Paiva]

Hello,

Im using:

dcm4chee-arc-psql:5.22.1-secure-ui - dockerized version with docker-compose on linux

im facing the following error when i try to receive an specific study:

2021-09-10 17:12:55,098 INFO  [org.dcm4chee.arc.store.impl.StoreServiceEJB] (EE-ManagedExecutorService-default-Thread-683) PACS<-CT108221(713): Query for MWL Items with MergeMWLQueryParam{accessionNumber='117988', studyIUID='null', spsID='null'}

        at org.dcm4...@5.22.1//org.dcm4che3.data.Attributes.setParent(Attributes.java:253)

My system has an attribute coercion rule instructed at this post:

https://groups.google.com/g/dcm4che/c/nHNqTF7K7bw

It seems that the coercion rule try to search a entry in MWL using AccessionNumber condition, and at the error message we can see that dcm4chee found 2 entries for this particular acession number. I think that this can be the root cause of the problem.

Searching in github, i found this issue, that seems to be related to my error:

https://github.com/dcm4che/dcm4chee-arc-light/issues/3265

I see that seems to be a bug that was solved in dcm4chee dcm4chee-arc-psql:5.24.0

So maybe i can correct this situation just updating my dcm4chee ?

In case of i really need to update my dcm4chee, there is some guide to help me to update from dcm4chee-arc-psql:5.22.1-secure-ui - dockerized version with docker-compose to the latest version ?

This issue has been fixed in archive version 5.24.0
