For dcm4chee-arc4 (alpha version)

...

For dcm4chee-web3 (new web interface)

  • Install dcm4chee, if needed. The latest version and installation instructions can be found herenot already done.
    • dcm4chee-web3 is not compatible with versions of dcm4chee before 2.16.0
    • dcm4chee 2.16.0 to 2.17.0 are compatible with dcm4chee-web3, but the older dcm4chee-web is installed by default.
    • For dcm4chee 2.17.1+, dcm4chee-web3 is already installed.

      Tip

      To check if it is the latest version, start dcm4chee-web3 (http://localhost:8080/dcm4chee-web3/), log in, and mouse over the dcm4chee.org icon in the upper right corner.

  • Go here and download these Weasis files.
    • From the folder with the latest version number:
      • weasis.war
      • weasis-i18n.war - Optional for internationalization (translation)
    • From weasis-pacs-connector folder:
      • dcm4chee-web-weasis.jar
      • weasis-pacs-connector.war

        Note
        titleDownload issue

        Some browsers (Internet Explorer) may rename war files to zip. If so, use the Save As option when downloading. Change the name back to war.

  • Place these files in the dcm4chee deploy folder (server/default/deploy/).
  • To activate Weasis, go to the JMX console (at http://localhost:8080/jmx-console)
    • In dcm4chee.web select service=WebConfig and set these two values:

      Code Block
      
      WebviewerNames = weasis
      WebviewerBaseUrl = NONE
      

      From weasis-pacs-connector 5.0 WebviewerBaseUrl can have different values:

      • Launch Weasis as an external application (default value when NONE): WebviewerBaseUrl = weasis:/weasis-pacs-connector/viewer
      • Launch Weasis as an Applet in the web browser (not recommended as several browsers block Java plugin) : WebviewerBaseUrl = weasis:/weasis-pacs-connector/viewer-applet
    • Click the Apply Changes button
  • Configure Weasis (This step is optional if you just want to keep the default configuration. It is required when the AE Title DCM4CHEE has been changed)
    The default configuration of Weasis is stored in two files inside weasis.war.
    To override the default configuration:
    • Go here.
      Download weasis-connector-default.properties and rename it weasis-pacs-connector.properties

      Note
      titleDownload issue

      From github interface, click on "raw" button for downloading the file with the "save as..." menu of the browser.

    • Copy the files into a folder in the classpath of the servlet container. In JBoss (inferior to version 7), the best location would typically be server/default/conf.
    • Edit the configuration as needed.
      For example, dcm4chee may be running on a different computer than Weasis, or the AE Title of dcm4chee may have been changed.
      If so, edit weasis-pacs-connector.properties. Change pacs.host, pacs.port, and pacs.aet.
    • To add new properties or arguments in the JNLP file, see configuration of weasis-pacs-connector

...

  • Place these three files into the deploy folder (server/default/deploy/) of dcm4chee.

...

  • Install dcm4chee-cdw (see doc/INSTALL.txt in the archive)
  • Extract weasis-portable.zip into the ../dcm4chee/server/default/data/mergedir directory
  • Go to the dcm4che jmx console (dcm4chee.cdw):
    •  Select the MediaCreationMgtSCP item and set to true the value of DefaultIncludeDisplayApplication
    •  Select the MakeIsoImage item and set to 4 the value of isoLevel
  • Click on the Apply Changes button

    Info
    titleEmbedding a Java Runtime for Windows

    The executable (weasis-win32.exe) allows to embed a JRE in the directory "jre/windows" (weasis-portable/jre/windows/bin/java.exe). The embedded Java Runtime is used only when no runtime is available on the system. When Java is run from CD, it could be a little slow.
