Summary

Notifies a connection that an N-ACTION-REQ command was received. This function is available in the PACS Imaging.

Syntax

#include "ltdic.h"

L_VOID pEXT_CALLBACK Your Function(hNet, nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass, pszInstance, nAction, hDS, pUserData)

Parameters

HDICOMNET hNet

A DICOM Network handle to the peer member of the connection.

L_UCHAR nPresentationID

Presentation ID. The presentation ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the transfer syntax to use when transferring the data.

L_UINT16 nMessageID

Message ID. Each message sent by a member of a connection should have a unique ID. Since a member of a connection may send several messages, this ID allows that member to identify when a specific request has been completed.

L_TCHAR * pszClass

Class affected by the request. This will be an SOP Class or an SOP MetaClass.

L_TCHAR * pszInstance

The instance of the class. A server may, for example, have three instances of the Nuclear Medicine Class. This value identifies the data with a specific instance.

L_UINT16 nAction

An application specific action to be performed on the specified data set.

HDICOMDS hDS

The data set on which the specified action is to be performed.

L_VOID * pUserData

Void pointer that you can use to access a variable or structure containing data that your callback function needs. This gives you a way to receive data indirectly from the function that uses this callback function.

Keep in mind that this is a void pointer, which must be cast to the appropriate data type within your callback function.

Returns

None.

Comments

A call to this function is generated on a peer member of a connection when L_DicomSendNActionRequest is called.

To use this callback function, RECEIVENACTIONREQUESTCALLBACK must be set using L_DicomSetCallback.

The action specified may be the addition of a new patient, the deletion of a patient, the addition of a new study, a print job, etc. The nAction value, which designates the action to perform is determined by the server. To find out the values used, you must contact the organization that created the server. When creating a server, the values and their corresponding meanings are determined by those creating the server.
