# [NAME](#NAME)

dcmqrscp - DICOM image archive (central test node)

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
dcmqrscp [options] [port]
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#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 compatibility test tool. In particular, **dcmqrscp** will delete images if its quota restrictions have been exceeded.

Caution: Note that the format of **dcmqrdb's** binary *index.dat* file changed on 20130705 due to a bug fix in the corresponding code. An *index.dat* file created before that date will not work with dcmqrdb code compiled after that date but must be re-created. Use **dcmqridx** for that task or re-send all images to the server after deleting all old files (and creating a new empty *index.dat* file).

          use config file f for the logger


  -c    --config  [f]ilename: string


          use specific configuration file


          (default: /usr/local/etc/dcmtk-<VERSION>/dcmqrscp.cfg)


  # This option allows a specific configuration file to be


  # specified.  By default, the configuration file in the


  # system configuration directory ("etc" on Unix systems and


  # current working directory on Windows systems) with the name


  # "dcmqrscp.cfg" will be used.  It is an error if a valid


  # configuration file is not available.  See the documentation


  # on configuration for more information (dcmqrcnf.txt and the


  # example configuration file dcmqrscp.cfg).
```

## [multi-process options](#multi-process_options)

```


  -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.


        --fork


          fork child process for each association (default)


  # Please note that the multi-process options are only available


  # on systems that support the fork() call, i.e. not on Windows.
```

## [database options](#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


  # successfully 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.

  # 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 identifier validity (default)


  -XM   --check-move


          check C-MOVE identifier validity

# [NOTES](#NOTES)

## [Operation](#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/Retrieve 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 propose presentation contexts for all of the abovementioned supported SOP Classes using 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
```

This default behavior can be changed with the *--propose* options (see above). Depending on these options, the following transfer syntaxes are supported:

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 BigEndianExplicit to LittleEndianExplicit transfer syntax (and vice versa). This behavior can be changed with the *--prefer* options (see above). Depending on these options, the following transfer syntaxes are supported:

```

The **dcmqrscp** application does not support extended negotiation.

Presentation contexts for other SOP Classes and Transfer Syntax may be configured via the *--assoc-config-file* option by selecting an appropriate profile for incoming associations. The selected profile will override only the above mentioned storage SOP classes, **dcmqrscp** will accept contexts with the above mentioned FIND, GET, MOVE and private shutdown SOP Classes additionally to the ones defined in the selected profile. Please note that an appropriate profile for **role negotiation** must be defined and used for enabling GET support.

## [Configuration](#Configuration)

The **dcmqrscp** program uses the same configuration file as the **dcmqrti** program. See the documentation on configuration for more information.

## [Access Control](#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)](/man/os/dcmtk/hosts_access.5).

# [LOGGING](#LOGGING)

The level of logging output of the various command line tools and underlying libraries can be specified by the user. By default, only errors and warnings are written to the standard error stream. Using option *--verbose* also informational messages like processing details are reported. Option *--debug* can be used to get more details on the internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes. Other logging levels can be selected using option *--log-level*. In *--quiet* mode only fatal errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the application will usually terminate. For more details on the different logging levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.

In case the logging output should be written to file (optionally with logfile rotation), to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option *--log-config* can be used. This configuration file also allows for directing only certain messages to a particular output stream and for filtering certain messages based on the module or application where they are generated. An example configuration file is provided in *&lt;etcdir&gt;/logger.cfg*.

# [COMMAND LINE](#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 behavior 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 unless they appear between two quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation. Please note that a command file cannot contain another command file. This simple but effective approach allows one to summarize common combinations of options/parameters and avoids longish and confusing command lines (an example is provided in file *&lt;datadir&gt;/dumppat.txt*).

# [ENVIRONMENT](#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 *&lt;datadir&gt;/dicom.dic* will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into the application (default for Windows).

The default behavior 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. On Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. 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.

Depending on the command line options specified, the **dcmqrscp** utility will attempt to load character set mapping tables. This happens when DCMTK was compiled with the oficonv library (which is the default) and the mapping tables are not built into the library (default when DCMTK uses shared libraries).

The mapping table files are expected in DCMTK's *&lt;datadir&gt;*. The *DCMICONVPATH* environment variable can be used to specify a different location. If a different location is specified, those mapping tables also replace any built-in tables.

# [FILES](#FILES)

*&lt;docdir&gt;/dcmqrset.txt* - setup information  
*&lt;etcdir&gt;/dcmqrscp.cfg* - example configuration file
