Circumstances that would cause incoming instance to be discarded by filter

[e...@openrem.org]

Dear Sébastien and colleagues

I have an Orthanc installation from the Ubuntu 18.04 repositories, so it is fairly old (1.3.1). 

We have a new modality sending images and radiation dose structured reports to the server. The RDSRs are coming through fine, but the images are being discarded.

I have tried starting the server with both --verbose and --trace, but the most I can find with either is "An incoming instance has been discarded by the filter".

Would you please tell me the circumstances that this message is generated? I was hoping that with additional logging I might get a clue as to a SOP Class or transfer syntax that was being rejected or similar, but I don't know what that message tells me.

I have a Lua script that passes the RDSR and some other image files to OpenREM, and saves any images with a 'Physics' patient name to a zip file. It is working correctly for images and RDSR from other modalities.

Is this message before or after any Lua processing?

Thank you for any advice you can give. I will of course attempt to chase this from the other end too.

Kind regards

I have established that in this case at least, that message is generated by the Lua ReceivedInstanceFilter function, and I have now amended my Lua script and resolved my issue.

Kind regards
