Re: [p3rtp] Pinnacle 9.2 PDF export to Mosaiq

This can be done with the FTP command in windows. Here is a small bit modified from some previous transfer scripts I wrote and should be a good starting point for you to create your own script. It should theoretically copy all the files in a known pinnacle folder to a known folder in your mosaiq eScan directory.
Step 1:
Map a network drive (http://www.wintuts.com/Map-Network-Drive) to your mosaiq eScan folder. In my case I mapped \\server_name\mosaiq_app\eScan\Dosimetry\ to W:\Dosimetry
Step2:
Create a file in notepad with the following text and save it as the file name "transfer.ftp"
open 111.1.1.1 // In your case this would be whatever the pinnacle FTP server IP address is
user p3rtp // Your pinnacle username
p3rtp // Your pinnacle password
lcd W:\Dosimetry // This is the drive that you mapped to and where you will be copying the files over to
cd /home/p3reports/ // This would be the location on the pinnacle server where the files are stored that you want to copy.
prompt // Keeps you from getting asked questions about the transfer
mget * // Grabs all the files in the folder and copies them to the lcd (local current directory)
bye // quits the ftp program
Step 3:
Now make another notepad file (this will be the easy one button press script.) with the following text and save it as a batch file easy_one_button.bat
ftp -n -s:"C:\Documents and Settings\oblasi\Desktop\transfer.ftp" //The location is just where your transfer.ftp file is saved. In my case it is the desktop
Tips:
Be sure to delete out all the extra commented "// text"
The first time running open the command prompt window and run the easy_one_button.bat from there so that you can read the text if something is going wrong.
Hope this helps. Have fun scripting.

I'm fairly sure you could get what you want without any scripts at all and no FTP server, although I can't be sure I don't use Mosaiq!
From the sound of it I think you could just map the "escan" drive using samba, I'm fairly sure that the Solaris OS Pinnacle sits on supports this as it appears to have smbclient. Then just link your PDF report folder to this mapped drive, then every time you create a PDF it would get saved straight to the mapped escan drive. Or maybe I'm missing something?

We are happy to have 9.2 and PDF running, but the FTP process is tedious with many steps. We are using Filezilla because we have it set up already to transfer our IMRT QA files.
Any hints on a faster, easier "one button" way to send these PDF files to our escan drive? A script maybe for doing the PDF within Pinnacle/Unix?
If this has been asked - please forgive the repeat. I didn't find it during my search of the user group, and have only logged on for the first time today so haven't explored the group much.

I had thought the same thing until I discovered what the “missing” piece was.
Although, Pinnacle’s Solaris OS contains the smbclient package, the kernel it uses has no support for the smbfs package or the cifs-utils package. The lack of kernel support is the reason why these filesystems cannot be mounted locally. The smbclient package is included as it a user-space FTP-like client which does not require any kernel support.
The only way to mount a remote filesystem to the local drive is with a NFS mount. This is not a problem for Windows7 as it natively supports NFS, but older OS’s will require (SFU) Windows Services for Unix to be installed and running.

I see, I thought it would be too easy! I guess you could always create a script on the Pinnacle side to use smbclient to push the files when you use the Pinnacle PDF script to the escan folder. (You could call this script at the end of the Pinnacle PDF script so no extra button pressing required!) Essentially the script would look similar to the FTP script already suggested.
Or can you change your escan folder location? I know for definite that Solaris can make Samba shares, so if you could change your escan directory to point to a samba share on Pinnacle which also happens to be your PDF creation directory. Whether this will work or be practical will depend on how you use Mosaiq/its limitations…

I for one would like to learn how to set up Samba shares.
Can you share your procedure or point to some reference doc?
On a tangential issue, for exporting pdf, how does one set up script
to print the CT slices to be included?
Thanks in advance,
Alex Nguyen

I'm afraid I don't have a procedure, although there looks to be some sites online that guide you through it, E.g.
https://blogs.oracle.com/timthomas/entry/enabling_and_configuring_samba_as
However, I would recommend you ask Philips to set it up for you just to be safe.
