NAME
dcmqrscp - DICOM image archive (central test node)
SYNOPSIS
dcmqrscp [options] [port]
DESCRIPTION
The Image Central Test Node (dcmqrscp) Application implements a simple
image archive. It manages a number of storage areas and allows images
to be stored in these storage areas using the DICOM Storage Service
Class. It also allows image attributes to be queried and images to be
retrieved using the DICOM Query/Retrieve Service Class. The dcmqrscp
application also implements access restriction rules to limit
operations to specific peer application entities.
The dcmqrscp application is intended to be used in DICOM demonstrations
and as a compatibilitiy test tool. In particular, dcmqrscp will delete
images if its quota restrictions have been exceeded.
PARAMETERS
port tcp/ip port number to listen on (default: in config file)
OPTIONS
general options
-h --help
print this help text and exit
--version
print version information and exit
-v --verbose
verbose mode, print processing details
-vv --very-verbose
print more processing details
-d --debug
debug mode, print debug information
-c --config [f]ilename: string (default: dcmqrscp.cfg)
use specific configuration file
# This option allows a specific configuration file to be
# specified. By default, the configuration file in the current
# working directory with the name "dcmqrscp.cfg" will be used
# (i.e. the file ./dcmqrscp.cfg). It is an error if a valid
# configuration file is not available. See the documentation
# on configuration for more information (ctnconf.txt and the
# example configuration file dcmqrscp.cfg).
-s --single-process
single process mode
# This option instructs dcmqrscp to run in single process mode.
# Normally, dcmqrscp will spawn a new copy of itself to handle
# each association. This option will prevent such copies being
# spawned and is particularly useful when running within a
# debugger.
database options
association negotiation:
--require-find
reject all MOVE/GET presentation contexts for
which no corresponding FIND context is proposed
# This option causes dcmqrscp to enforce a restriction about
# FIND and MOVE presentation contexts. The RSNA’93 demonstration
# required that a CTN refuse to accept a presentation context for
# a MOVE if a FIND presentation context is not also requested.
# This option enforces this restriction.
--no-parallel-store
reject multiple simultaneous STORE presentation
contexts for one application entity title
# This option causes dcmqrscp to refuse storage presentations
# contexts for AE Titles if another association has already
# sucessfully negotiated storage presentation contexts for the
# AE Title. This option should only be needed for debugging
# since the dcmqrscp database back-end sequentialises access via
# file-locking.
--disable-get
disable C-GET support
--allow-shutdown
allow external shutdown via a private SOP class
checking identifier validity:
-XF --check-find
check C-FIND identifier validity
# This option causes dcmqrscp database back-end to perform checks
# on the Query Identifiers for a C-FIND command. With this option,
# dcmqrscp will reject any queries which do not conform to the very
# strict DICOM rules for Query Identifiers.
--no-check-find
do not check C-FIND identif. validity (default)
-XM --check-move
check C-MOVE identifier validity
# This option causes dcmqrscp database back-end to perform checks
# on the Query Identifiers for a C-MOVE command. With this option,
# dcmqrscp will reject any queries which do not conform to the very
# strict DICOM rules for Query Identifiers.
--no-check-move
do not check C-MOVE identif. validity (default)

NOTES
Operation
dcmqrscp waits for another application to connect at the presentation
address (port number) specified in its configuration file (or
overridden by a command line option). When another application
connects, dcmqrscp expects it to be a DICOM application and to use
calling and called AE Titles specified in dcmqrscp’s configuration
file. dcmqrscp will accept associations with Presentation Contexts for
SOP Classes of the Verification Service Class, Storage Service Class
and Query/Retreive Service Class. Associations will be rejected or
Presentation Contexts will be refused if the peer application does not
have appropriate access rights as specified by dcmqrscp configuration
file.
dcmqrscp will receive images on Presentation Contexts of the Storage
Service Class, write them to a configurable storage area associated
with the class AE title, extract attributes from these images and store
them in a database. dcmqrscp will receive query requests and generate
query responses on Presentation Contexts of the Query/Retrieve Service
class. dcmqrscp will receive retrieve requests and generate retrieve
responses on Presentation Contexts of the Query/Retrieve Service class.
dcmqrscp will also process C-CANCEL messages to interrupt
query/retrieve operations.
Under normal operations dcmqrscp will never exit, it keeps on waiting
for new associations until killed.

The dcmqrscp application will accept presentation contexts for all of
the above mentioned supported SOP Classes using any of the transfer
syntaxes:
LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2
LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax 1.2.840.10008.1.2.2
The dcmqrscp application will prefer transfer syntaxes having an
explicit encoding over the default implicit transfer syntax. If
dcmqrscp is running on big-endian hardware it will prefer
BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax to LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax
(and vice versa).
The dcmqrscp application does not support extended negotiation.
Configuration
The dcmqrscp program uses the same configuration file as the ti
program. See the documentation on configuration for more information.
Access Control
When compiled on Unix platforms with TCP wrapper support, host-based
access control can be enabled with the --access-control command line
option. In this case the access control rules defined in the system’s
host access control tables for dcmqrscp are enforced. The default
locations of the host access control tables are /etc/hosts.allow and
/etc/hosts.deny. Further details are described in hosts_access(5).
COMMAND LINE
All command line tools use the following notation for parameters:
square brackets enclose optional values (0-1), three trailing dots
indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of both
means 0 to n values.
Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading ’+’
or ’-’ sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
options are arbitrary (i.e. they can appear anywhere). However, if
options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
behaviour conforms to the standard evaluation rules of common Unix
shells.
In addition, one or more command files can be specified using an ’@’
sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
argument is replaced by the content of the corresponding text file
(multiple whitespaces are treated as a single separator) prior to any
further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain
another command file. This simple but effective approach allows to
summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish
and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file
share/data/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
The dcmqrscp utility will attempt to load DICOM data dictionaries
specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable is not set, the file
<PREFIX>/lib/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built
into the application (default for Windows).
The default behaviour should be preferred and the DCMDICTPATH
environment variable only used when alternative data dictionaries are
required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (’:’) separates entries.
The data dictionary code will attempt to load each file specified in
the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data
dictionary can be loaded.
