Curator INI settings: Reference

The following table explains the Curator INI keys and their possible values.

AUTO_DELETE

T—Delete the study from the image cache when the web representation is created. Curator does not delete images or other non-image objects from the image cache that it has not created web representations for. The web cache copy cannot be sent to other PACS systems.

F—Keep the image cache version as well as the web cache version. The image cache copy can be sent to other PACS systems.

Note:

Images compressed using Mitra Wavelet compression take longer to decompress than images compressed using standard compression. To provide faster access to images for local clients, configure Curator to keep image cache copy.

We do not recommend deleting the image cache copy unless the server is configured to function strictly as a web server.

COLLECT_PERFORMANCE_ METRICS

T—Collect performance metrics on prepare jobs and store them in map_job_metrics table.

F—Do not collect performance metrics.

The following metrics are recorded in the map_job_metrics table:

SERVICE_REF—Service ref of the curator process that handled the prepare job.
NUM_OBJECTS—Number of objects in the study being curated.
STAT1—Number of frames that were curated.
STAT2—Input size of study in MB.
STAT3—Raw size of study in MB.
STAT4—Amount of data written to web cache in MB.

DELETE_DUPLICATE_ JOBS

T—Duplicate PREPARE jobs are deleted.

F—Duplicate PREPARE jobs are allowed.

MIN_MEM_FREE

300

Minimum amount of free memory, in MB, that Curator requires. If the amount of free memory falls below this number, Curator restarts. To have Curator ignore this, set the MIN_MEM_FREE to -1.

If you change this from the default, select a value that is at least six times the uncompressed size of the largest image you intend to curate.

QFACTOR_REUSE

T—The Q Factor is reused between compatible images/frames within the series.

F—The Wavelet Q Factor defined in the Web Compression Manager is ignored and the Q Factor is not reused.

We recommend leaving this setting at F (False).

SEND_SIGNALS

T—Send STUDY-SIMPLIFIED MAP signal to the Client.

F—Do not send the signal to the Client.
