Troubleshooting: Segmenting a study from the Connectivity Manager receives an error

Issue

I try to segment a study from the Connectivity Manager but receive an error message that the segment failed.

Details

The issue is with the sending of an MPPS message to the Connectivity Manager after the segment is complete. If IMPAX is configured to send notification to the HIS when a study is received, the segment appears to fail due to the failed notification. IMPAX does send the appropriate MPPS message; however, the Connectivity Manager returns notification that an internal error has occurred.

Solution

1. In the Connectivity Manager, modify IMPAX MPPS_In interface Performed Series In

   1. Performed Series In: All Destination Expression values

      Change all 10 of the destination expressions to '' (two single quotes with no space in between).

   2. Save the mappings and restart the interface.

2. Make the following IMPAX MPPS_In changes only if it is IMPAX 6.2.1 or later.

   1. Change the following destination mapping in the Object "Performed Procedure Step In", in Scheduled Step Attribute Sequence:

      default: source: dicom(0020 000d)
             destination: mcf('performed_procedure_step_instance_uid')

      edit: destination: ''

   2. Add the following mapping to the Object "Performed Procedure Step In", in root:

      source: equal( command('0000 1000'), '', command('0000 1001'), command('0000 1000'))
      		destination: mcf('performed_procedure_step_instance_uid')

   3. Change the following destination mapping in the Object "Scheduled Step In", in Study SOP Instance UID sequence:

      default: source: dicom('0008 1155')
             destination: mcf('study_sop_instance_uid')

      edit: destination: ''

   4. Add the following mapping to the object "Scheduled Step In", in Study Instance UID sequence:

      source: dicom('0020 000d')
      destination: mcf('study_sop_instance_uid')
