Using DVT to test Pacsone

Post by confiarus » Tue Jun 19, 2007 6:51 am

I'm trying to use DVT to send test images to PacsOne, however, I'm not able to associate with PacsOne while doing a simple ECHO .


I've defined a DICOM entity for DVT under PacsOne's "DICOM AE" menu. PacsOne is on 1 computer (win2k) and DVT is on another computer (win2k). Both computers can ping (TCP/IP ping) each other and I've turned all firewalls off. Has anyone had any experience using DVT with PacsOne ? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The error message from DVT's logging is below the asterisks

1. Did you check if PacsOne Server is running or not?

Make sure you see both PacsOne.exe and PacsOneSrv.exe running from the process list (CTL-ALT-DLT, click on Task Manager->Process List->Show All Processes).

2. If so, check the PacsOne Server logs under the log/ sub-folder where PacsOne is installed, and see what error(s) got logged by PacsOne when you tried to ping (C-ECHO) it from DVT.

The PacsOne services were running ok. I found the problem by looking
at the log you'd referred to in the previous post.

The log kept showing that "MySql could not connect to MyAeTitle ......".

I removed the password (using SET PASSWORD command within MySql) I'd set for root, and I was able to complete the association test successfully with DVT. And, also was able to import a study from a CD. However, I don't feel safe without a password for the database root user. When I change the password, I have the same problem.

What is the reason for this ? Also, I forgot to mention, I used WAMP 5.1.72 for the package install.

PacsOne is a MySQL client so it will need a valid MySQL login (username/password) to access MySQL.

You should use a designated MySQL username/password (non-root) for PacsOne. Normally this is done when you run the PacsOne Installer (Setup.exe) at the time of installation, but you can configure PacsOne to use a different MySQL username/password by running the Setup.exe again from the directory where PacsOne is installed, enter the same AE Title, TCP port, database name, but specify a new MySQL username/password, The Installer wil create the specified MySQL username/password if it does not exist.
