To the primary IMPAX RIS, a secondary IMPAX RIS installed on an Application Server is a "remote" IMPAX RIS. A second IMPAX RIS installed on a single Application Server is also considered a Remote IMPAX RIS. To enable access to reports from the remote IMPAX RIS, the primary Application Server must have a remote IMPAX RIS report source added in the Business Services Configuration Tool.
A remote IMPAX RIS populates the IMPAX Client Text area with the information available in the DICOM header of the images. Perform the following steps to identify the IMPAX RIS that will supply the reports displayed in the IMPAX Client Text area.
The connection to the remote IMPAX RIS can also be configured with a Connectivity Manager.
 | Important! All Application Servers in the cluster must be connected to the same MVF database. |
To connect the Application Server to a remote IMPAX RIS
Ensure that the Application Server has been prepared for the IMPAX RIS connection.

From the RIS Type list, select Remote Agfa RIS.
In the URL field, type the following:
http://remote_server_name/AgfaHC.Ris.Web.Services/ReportInfoWebService.asmx
where remote_server_name is the IP address or hostname of the remote Server or Application Server hosting the RIS.
If you have added an additional IMPAX RIS database to the Application Server, in the URL field, type the URL of the new virtual directory.
