Partial Rejection Quality Reasons with IOCM_REGULAR_USE

Reject only some objects of a study using rejection note code reason Rejected for Quality Reasons with IOCM_REGULAR_USE using UI Navigation page -> Studies tab. The regular use is associated with a query retrieve view which always shows the instances rejected for Quality Reasons. Hence, even if the objects are rejected, they shall be notified to IAN SCPs as being ONLINE on the system.

To be able to verify that the rejections done using IOCM_REGULAR_USE correspond to the storage of rejection notes on the storage associated with this AE, some configurations as explained below are required.

• Clone the existing fs1 storage (Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Device Extension -> Archive Device Extension -> Child Objects -> Storage Descriptor). For better verification and debugging set the Storage ID and Storage URI accordingly.
• Associate this newly created storage to IOCM_REGULAR_USE AE. (Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Child Objects -> Network AEs -> IOCM_REGULAR_USE -> Network AE Extension -> Archive Network AE Extension -> Attributes -> Object Storage ID)
• Specify IOCM_REGULAR_USE AE as Rejection Note Storage AE Title on Archive Device Extension level. (Configuration page -> Devices tab -> dcm4chee-arc -> Device Extension -> Archive Device Extension -> Attributes -> Rejection Note Storage AE Title)

Note : Rejection using C-STORE can't be done using IOCM_REGULAR_USE as AE since Presentation State for 1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.88.59 - Key Object Selection Document Storage is not negotiated / configured for this AE.

Tests & Verification

• The number of rejected instances, and their SOP Instance ID values shall match with the values of Referenced SOP Instance UID in the Referenced Series Sequence -> Referenced SOP Sequence of IAN's dataset.
• The Instance Availability values for rejected instances as well as for the other not rejected instances shall be ONLINE.
• The IAN dataset shall also contain an empty Referenced Performed Procedure Step Sequence.
