LDicomNet::SendNCreateRequest

Summary

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

Syntax

#include "ltdic.h"

L_INT LDicomNet::SendNCreateRequest(nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass, pszInstance, 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_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.

LDicomDS *pDS

Data set with the information to use when creating.

Returns

Value	Meaning
0	SUCCESS
>0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Calling this function generates a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveNCreateRequest on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling LDicomNet::SendNCreateResponse which will generate a call to LDicomNet::OnReceiveNCreateResponse.

This function creates a new SOP Instance on the specified peer connection. The data set with the new information must be created and filled before calling this function.

Example

This example sends an N-Create Request to a server
In this example:

LMyDicomNet is a class derived from LDicomNet
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
m_pDicomNet points to a valid LMyDicomNet object
LMyDicomNet *m_pDicomNet
A connection exists between client and server

An association exists between the client and server
