NAME
       storescp - DICOM storage (C-STORE) SCP

SYNOPSIS
       storescp [options] [port]


DESCRIPTION
       The  storescp application implements a Service Class Provider (SCP) for
       the Storage Service Class. It listens on a  specific  TCP/IP  port  for
       incoming  association  requests from a Storage Service Class User (SCU)
       and can receive both DICOM images and other  DICOM  composite  objects.
       The  storescp  application also supports the Verification Service Class
       as an SCP.

PARAMETERS
       port  tcp/ip port number to listen on
             (this parameter is required unless the --inetd option is specified)

NOTES
       The semantic impacts of the above mentioned options is  clear  for  the
       majority  of options. Some particular options, however, are so specific
       that they need detailed  descriptions  which  will  be  given  in  this
       passage.

       Option  --sort-conc-studies  enables  a user to sort all received DICOM
       objects into different subdirectories. The sorting will  be  done  with
       regard  to  the  studies the individual objects belong to, i.e. objects
       that belong to the same study will be stored in the same  subdirectory.
       In  general,  a  DICOM object d_n+1 is considered to belong to the same
       study as a DICOM object d_n if and only if d_n and d_n+1 show the exact
       same values in attribute Study Instance UID. The names of the resulting
       subdirectories always start with a prefix p which was  passed  to  this
       option  as  a  parameter.  In addition to this prefix, the subdirectory
       names contain time stamp information with regard to the date  and  time
       of  reception of this particular studys first DICOM object. In detail,
       the determination of the subdirectory names pertains to the pattern



         [prefix]_[YYYYMMDD]_[HHMMSSPPP]


       where YYYY refers to year (4 digits), MM to month (01-12),  DD  to  day
       (01-31), HH to hour (00-23), MM to minute (00-59), SS to second (00-59)
       and PPP to milliseconds (000-999). If the prefix is  an  empty  string,
       the first _ is omitted.

       The  other  --sort-xxx  options  work  in  a  similar  manner, only the
       subdirectory names are created differently. For option --sort-on-study-
       uid the pattern is



         [prefix]_[StudyInstanceUID]


       and for option --sort-on-patientname



         [PatientName]_[YYYYMMDD]_[HHMMSSPPP]


       where  PatientName  is replaced by ANONYMOUS if the data element is
       empty or absent in the data set. Please note, however, that for  option
       --sort-on-study-uid  the  same  subdirectory will be used for all DICOM
       objects that belong to the same study, i.e. in contrast  to  the  other
       --sort-xxx options there is no guarantee that a study directory is ever
       completed.

       Option --timenames creates filenames from timestamps  corresponding  to
       the time, storescp writes a file to disk. The format is



         [YYYYMMDDHHMMSSPPP]_[SERIALNO].[MD]


       where YYYY, MM, DD, HH, MM, SS, PPP are interpreted as described above.
       If more files are created at the same time, SERIALNO  is  inserted.  It
       consists of a 4-digit, consecutive number (0000 to 9999). For the first
       file, that exists for a specific  time,  no  number  (and  no  _)  is
       inserted  at  all. MD represents an identification code (2 letters) for
       the kind of object stored  in  the  file  (see  notes  on  --rename-on-
       eostudy).

       Option --filename-extension appends a specified suffix to each filename
       (a dot . is not added automatically). This suffix is not appended  to
       the  filenames created by --rename-on-eostudy to maintain the length of
       8 characters.

       Option --exec-on-reception allows to execute  a  certain  command  line
       after  having  received  and  processed  one DICOM object (through a C-
       STORE-RQ message). The command line to be executed is  passed  to  this
       option  as a parameter. The specified command line may contain a number
       of placeholders which will be replaced at run time:

        #p: complete path to the output directory into which the  last  DICOM
         object was stored (not available with option --ignore though)
        #f:  filename  of  the current output file (not available with option
         --ignore though)
        #a: calling application entity title of the peer Storage SCU
        #c: called application entity title used by the peer Storage  SCU  to
         address storescp
        #r:  calling presentation address, i.e. hostname or IP address of the
         peer Storage SCU
       The specified command line is executed as a separate process,  so  that
       the execution of storescp will not be held back.
       Option  --exec-on-eostudy allows to execute a certain command line when
       all DICOM objects that belong  to  one  study  have  been  received  by
       storescp.  The  same  placeholders  as  with --exec-on-reception may be
       used, except for #f, which is not supported. A  study  is  considered
       complete  by  storescp when an object belonging to a different study is
       received or the timeout specified with --eostudy-timeout  takes  place.
       If  option  --rename-on-eostudy  is  in force, the renaming takes place
       before the external command is executed.
       Option --rename-on-eostudy refers to  the  above  mentioned  --sort-xxx
       options  and can only be used in combination with one of these options.
       If a user specifies option --rename-on-eostudy and storescp  determines
       that  all  DICOM  objects  that  belong  to  a  certain study have been
       received, all DICOM files that belong to the last study will be renamed
       in  the  corresponding  output  directory. The filenames into which the
       files are being renamed will be calculated using the pattern

         [prefix][consecutive numbering]
       where [prefix] is a 2 character prefix that reveals the kind  of  DICOM
       object   stored   in   the   file  and  [consecutive  numbering]  is  a
       consecutively  numbered,  6-digit  number,  starting  at  000001.  In
       general,  the  question  if  all DICOM objects that belong to one study
       have been received by storescp will be answered positively if and  only
       if  two  consecutively received DICOM objects d_n and d_n+1 do not show
       the same values in attribute Study Instance UID; in such a case,  d_n+1
       is considered to belong to a new study.
       Using  option  --eostudy-timeout  a  user  can modify the determination
       process to figure out if all DICOM objects that  belong  to  one  study
       have already been received by storescp. With regard to this fact, it is
       clear that this option can only be used in combination  with  at  least
       one   of  the  following  options:  --sort-xxx,  --exec-on-eostudy  and
       --rename-on-eostudy. If option --eostudy-timeout is specified, the  end
       of a study is considered to have occurred not only if two consecutively
       received DICOM objects d_n and d_n+1 do not show  the  same  values  in
       attribute  Study  Instance  UID,  but  also if whithin a time span of x
       seconds after the reception of a  DICOM  object  d_n,  no  other  DICOM
       object was received over the network. Note that the amount x of seconds
       (which determines the length of this time span) has  to  be  passed  to
       this option as a parameter.

       The  storescp  application will accept presentation contexts for all of
       the abovementioned supported SOP Classes using  any  of  the  following
       transfer syntaxes:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                      1.2.840.10008.1.2.2
       The default behaviour of the storescp application is to prefer transfer
       syntaxes having an explicit encoding over the default implicit transfer
       syntax.  If  storescp  is running on big-endian hardware it will prefer
       BigEndianExplicit to LittleEndianExplicit  transfer  syntax  (and  vice
       versa).  This  behaviour  can be changed with the --prefer options (see
       above).  Using  option  --accept-all  any  of  the  following  transfer
       syntaxes is supported:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2

       Additional  Storage  SOP Classes and Transfer Syntaxes can be used with
       the so-called association negotiation profiles (see below).
       The storescp application  does  not  support  extended  negotiation  by
       default.  However, using an appropriate association negotiation profile
       (see below) the optional support for extended negotiation can be  added
       to particular SOP classes.
   Access Control
       When  compiled  on  Unix platforms with TCP wrapper support, host-based
       access control can be enabled with the  --access-control  command  line
       option.  In  this case the access control rules defined in the systems
       host access control tables  for  storescp  are  enforced.  The  default
       locations  of  the  host access control tables are /etc/hosts.allow and
       /etc/hosts.deny. Further details are described in hosts_access(5).
   Running storescp from inetd
       On Posix platforms, storescp can  be  initiated  through  the  inetd(8)
       super  server.  This  requires  that  storescp  be  configured  in  the
       /etc/inetd.conf configuration file. A typical configuration line  could
       look like this:

       acr-nema stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/storescp -id +ac -od /tmp/storescp
       where  -id  (--inetd)  activates  the  inetd  mode  in  which the DICOM
       association is actually accepted by inetd and passed to  storescp,  +ac
       (--access-control)  activates  the  TCP  wrapper  based  access control
       described above and -od (--output-directory) defines the  directory  in
       which  storescp  stores  incoming  DICOM objects. Note that the service
       name (acr-nema in this example) determines the port number  on  which
       DICOM  associations  are accepted and must be defined in /etc/services.
       When runnning from inetd, the stdout and stderr streams are  redirected
       to files in the /tmp filesystem which can be identified by the filename
       starting with the prefix storescp_.
       Please note that when run through inetd, storescp is executed with root
       privileges, which may be a security risk.
   Association Negotiation Profiles and Configuration Files
       storescp supports a flexible mechanism for specifying the DICOM network
       association negotiation  behaviour,  based  on  so-called  association
       negotiation  profiles which may be read from a configuration file. The
       format and semantics of  this  configuration  file  are  documented  in
       asconfig.txt.
LOGGING
       The  level  of  logging  output  of  the various command line tools and
       underlying libraries can be specified by the  user.  By  default,  only
       errors  and  warnings  are  written to the standard error stream. Using
       option --verbose also informational messages  like  processing  details
       are  reported.  Option  --debug  can be used to get more details on the
       internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes.  Other  logging  levels
       can  be  selected  using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
       errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the  application
       will  usually  terminate.  For  more  details  on the different logging
       levels, see documentation of module oflog.
       In case the logging output should be written to file  (optionally  with
       logfile  rotation),  to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
       --log-config can be used.  This  configuration  file  also  allows  for
       directing  only  certain messages to a particular output stream and for
       filtering certain messages based on the  module  or  application  where
       they  are  generated.  An  example  configuration  file  is provided in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg).
COMMAND LINE
       All command line tools  use  the  following  notation  for  parameters:
       square  brackets  enclose  optional  values  (0-1), three trailing dots
       indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of  both
       means 0 to n values.
       Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading +
       or - sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command  line
       options  are  arbitrary  (i.e.  they  can appear anywhere). However, if
       options are mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is  used.  This
       behaviour  conforms  to  the  standard  evaluation rules of common Unix
       shells.
       In addition, one or more command files can be specified  using  an  @
       sign  as  a  prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt). Such a command
       argument is replaced by the content  of  the  corresponding  text  file
       (multiple  whitespaces  are  treated  as a single separator unless they
       appear between two quotation marks) prior to  any  further  evaluation.
       Please  note  that  a command file cannot contain another command file.
       This  simple  but  effective  approach  allows  to   summarize   common
       combinations  of  options/parameters  and  avoids longish and confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).
ENVIRONMENT
       The storescp utility will  attempt  to  load  DICOM  data  dictionaries
       specified  in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e. if
       the  DCMDICTPATH  environment   variable   is   not   set,   the   file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic  will be loaded unless the dictionary is built into
       the application (default for Windows).
       The  default  behaviour  should  be  preferred  and   the   DCMDICTPATH
       environment  variable  only used when alternative data dictionaries are
       required. The DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same  format  as
       the  Unix  shell PATH variable in that a colon (:) separates entries.
       On Windows systems, a semicolon (;) is used as a separator. The  data
       dictionary  code  will  attempt  to  load  each  file  specified in the
       DCMDICTPATH environment variable. It is an error if no data  dictionary
       can be loaded.
