AE Title Job Processor

The AE Title Job Processor is the default Job Processor used if not specified in the configuration.

This job processor can group received instances by Study Instance UID (0020,000D) so that all received instances with the same Study Instance UID are used to trigger the configured Clara Pipeline(s).

Configuration

The AE Title Job Processor allows the following parameters to be customized:

  • priority: The priority of the job to use during creation of the Clara pipeline job. Allowed values are lower, normal, higher, and immediate. Refer to the Clara Platform documentation for additional details on job priorities.
  • timeout: The number of seconds to wait before creating a new Clara pipeline job (minimum 5 seconds).
  • pipeline-*: Any settings that are prefixed with pipeline- tell the job processor that it is a Clara pipeline, and a new Clara pipeline job shall be created with the received instance(s).

Examples

Scenario 1

"priority": "normal",
"timeout": 60,
"pipeline-lung": "8abf244aff7647989d4f6b3987a85759",
"pipeline-heart": "c5f996a71e1d4959bd6a2c8cf7130f88",
"pipeline-breast": "eb48c784ef20425580db7d46a30829b2"

With the settings above, the job processor will wait for 60 seconds before composing three Clara pipeline jobs: one for lung, one for heart, and one for breast.

For example, if there are five studies for Patient X, and each of these studies are sent to the DICOM Adapter in a separate DICOM association within 60 seconds, then three Clara pipeline jobs are created, each with all five studies.

Scenario 2

"priority": "higher",
"pipeline-breast": "8abf244aff7647989d4f6b3987a85759"

In this scenario, the job processor will group received instances with timeout set to 5 seconds.

For example, if studies A, B, and C are all sent over in one DICOM association, and no additional instances are sent afterwards, then after five seconds, three breast pipeline jobs are created, one for each study.

As another example, there is one study with four instances, and all four instances are sent in a separate association: The 2nd instance is received at T1+4 (where T1 is the time when the 1st instance is received); the 3rd is received at T2+3; and the last at T3+1. In this case, one Clara pipeline job will be created with all four instances.

Job Names

The AE Title Job Processor generates the job names using the following pattern:

{Called AE Title}-{Name of the pipeline}-{UTC Time "yyyyMMddHHmmss"}

e.g. Given:

  • AE Title: LIVERAET
  • Pipeline: LIVERAI
LIVERAET-LIVERAI-20211225101030
