How to reset the status of series when there are inconsistencies?
Last Updated 11 years ago
Sometimes it may happen that there are inconsistencies in the status of series, which may hinder the correct functioning of Perennity. When for instance it is not possible to submit a study for recording, it could mean one or more of its series have an invalid status.
The attached script files can help you in performing a reset of the status for all series that have an inconsistent status. Since it will perform a reset on all these series, please only run the script when there is no other activity in the Burner.
Implementation instructions:
- Copy (unzip) the scripts to a folder C:\pry\scripts (files update.bat and update.txt)
- The scripts are designed for a default v5 installation of Perennity DICOM; if any of the defaults is different, you may have to perform modifications to the files (e.g. MariaDB/MySQL executable folder, database port, database name); you may contact Perennity Support for assistance if you are unsure how to do that
- Launch the update.bat file to perform the status reset on all series in the database (making sure that there are no other operations performed by the Burner at that moment); the script will first perform a backup (dump) of the Perennity database to a file C:\series.txt, but that step can be omitted by removing the line that starts with mysqldump.exe in the update.bat file
- We recommend creating a shortcut to the file update.bat on the desktop of the Perennity PC; that will allow for easy launching of the batch script
The attached file "series_status_reset.bat" performs the same actions using a single batch file.
