Parallelism Using Move
Parallelism in auto-routing can be acheived by using the check-all option in the series.I use Move to transfer studies from one PACS to the other by clicking on the check-box next to the patient ID that i want to transfer.Can parallelism be achieved if i use the check-all option in the series while using Move?Wouldn't the transfer be faster that way?
PacsOne Server already performs the auto-route and manual-forwarded images in parallel, given that the Maximum Number of Outgoing Connections for the destination AE is set to a value more than 1. In other words, if the Maximum Number of Outgoing Connections for the destination AE is set to n (default is 10), PacsOne Server will open up to n connections to this destination AE when sending auto-routed or manually-forwarded images.
However, using parallelism has an implicit assumption that the destination AE can also accept this many simultaneous inbound connections. WE've already had several cases where we have to reduce the the Maximum Number of Outgoing Connections for the destination AE to one (1), because the destination AE can only handle one connection at a time. So in these cases, using parallel connections can actually slow down or fail the transfer if the destination AE cannot handle multiple simultaneous inbound connections.
