How to change ML API to folder

[dattranvan22]

I have create ML success, but it available on db. So i cannot find from scu client to get data order.

Now, i want change save from db to folder worklist. How i do that?

I'll have to explain that in more detail.

It has to do with this in orthanc.json:

"Worklists" : {

    "Enable": false,
    "Database": "/var/lib/orthanc/worklists",
    "FilterIssuerAet": false, // Some modalities do not specify 'ScheduledStationAETitle (0040,0001)'
    // in the C-Find and may receive worklists not related to them.  This option
    // adds an extra filtering based on the AET of the modality issuing the C-Find.
    "LimitAnswers": 0,  // Maximum number of answers to be returned (new in release 1.7.3)
    "MWL_DB": "orthanc_ris"
    // If MWL_DB is set and not empty, then this overrides the default, which is orthanc_ris
    // This is a custom DB to store MWL files created from JSON requests via an API
    // and it is also then used to generate responses to C-FIND MWL's using the DB, rather than the file system.
},

If Enable is false, that means the native Orthanc MWL server is disabled, and you'll need to use the alternate method to generate a reponse that is in the combined.py after:

DROP IN REPLACEMENT FOR THE NATIVE ORTHANC MWL PLUG-IN. ONLY ONE CAN BE ENABLED AT A TIME.

It should still work though using findscu, even though you do not have them stored on the file system because it queries the DB in that case.

If you set Enable to True, it should use the built-in Orthanc MWL server. I actually haven't test that much yet recently.

If you want to contact me via Skype, you are welcome, sscotti.
