LDicomNet::SendCMoveRequest

Summary

Sends a C-MOVE-REQ message to a peer member of a connection. This function is available in the PACS Imaging Toolkit.

Syntax

L_INT LDicomNet::SendCMoveRequest(nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass, nPriority, pszMoveAE, pDS)

Parameters

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_UINT16 nPriority

The priority level of the message. The Service Class Provider may or may not support priority. Therefore, setting this parameter may or may not have any effect. Possible values are:

L_TCHAR * pszMoveAE

Character string that contains the name of the application entity to which to move the data.

LDicomDS *pDS

Pointer to the data set to be moved.

Returns

Comments

Calling this function generates a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCMoveRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling LDicomNet::SendCMoveResponse which will generate a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveCMoveResponse.

Example

This example sends an C-Move Request to a server
In this example:

1. LMyDicomNet is a class derived from LDicomNet
2. LMyDicomNet has the following member variables:
   m_nClientOrServer: can be (STATUS_NONE, STATUS_SERVER, STATUS_CLIENT)
   identifies the LMyDicomNet object as a server or a client
   m_nDataCommand: can be (COMMAND_C_MOVE,COMMAND_C_GET)
   set so the server knows how a C-Store Response was generated

3. m_pDicomNet points to a valid LMyDicomNet object
   LMyDicomNet *m_pDicomNet

4. A connection exists between client and server

5. An association exists between the client and server
