NAME
       movescu - DICOM retrieve (C-MOVE) SCU


SYNOPSIS
       movescu [options] peer port [dcmfile-in...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  movescu  application implements both an SCU for the Query/Retrieve
       Service Class and  an  SCP  for  the  Storage  Service  Class.  movescu
       supports  retrieve  functionality  using  the  C-MOVE message. It sends
       query keys to an SCP and awaits responses. It will accept  associations
       for  the  purpose  of  receiving  images sent as a result of the C-MOVE
       request. The application can be used to test SCPs of the Query/Retrieve
       Service Class. The movescu application can  initiate  the  transfer  of
       images to a third party or can retrieve images to itself. Note that the
       use  of  the  term  'move' is a misnomer. The C-MOVE operation actually
       performs an image copy (no images will be deleted from the SCP).

NOTES
       Each file supplied on the command line will be sent to the SCP as  part
       of  a  C-MOVE  request.  The  query file must be a valid DICOM data set
       containing the dataset part of a  C-MOVE-RQ  message.  The  query  file
       could, for instance, be created with the dump2dcm utility from a script
       like the following example:

       # request all images for the patient with ID=PAT001
       (0008,0052) CS [PATIENT]     # QueryRetrieveLevel
       (0010,0020) LO [PAT001]      # PatientID

       Individual attributes of each file sent can be modified or supplemented
       using the -k (or --key) option. For example the command:

       movescu -k 0010,0020=PAT002 caesar 5678 patqry.dcm

       will,  when  sent  to  the  SCP  caesar  at TCP/IP port 5678, cause any
       PatientID attribute in patqry.dcm to have the value 'PAT002'.  If  such
       an  attribute  is  present  it  will  be replaced, if absent it will be
       inserted. The -k option can be present more than once. The  value  part
       (after  the  '=')  may  be absent causing the attribute to be sent with
       zero length. It is not possible to replace or insert attributes  within
       sequences using the -k option.

       If  no  file  is  specified  on  the  command  line,  the query must be
       specified completely with one or more -k  options.  If  multiple  query
       files  are  provided, movescu will send multiple C-MOVE requests to the
       SCP.

       For all uses of movescu, the SCP must be configured to 'know' about the
       AE title where the images are to be transmitted. This is required since
       the C-MOVE request only contains the AE Title of the target and the SCP
       must be able to convert this AE Title  into  TCP/IP  address  and  port
       number   in   order  to  actually  send  the  images  over  a  separate
       association.

       The C-MOVE operation  of  the  Query/Retrieve  Service  Class  is  able
       retrieve  images  (when option --port is used) or to initiate a copy of
       images to a third party.

   Known Problems
       movescu is intended to be used as a testing  tool  for  DICOM  software
       developers.  The query keys file must be created by hand based upon the
       contents of the SCP.

       The movescu application makes no attempt to prevent incorrect  queries.
       In  particular,  the query keys of a C-MOVE request should only contain
       the QueryRetrieveLevel attribute and  one  or  more  of  the  so-called
       'unique key attributes' (PatientID, StudyInstanceUID, SeriesInstanceUID
       and SOPInstanceUID).

       In case the storage client does not end the connection while movescu is
       playing  the  role of the storage server (i. e. the --port is used) but
       the  client  instead  expects  movescu  to  close  down   the   storage
       connection,  movescu  will  wait  infinitely. In that case movescu will
       neither close the association that was used to issue the C-MOVE request
       to the C-MOVE server.

   DICOM Conformance
   SCU Conformance
       The movescu application supports the following SOP Classes as an SCU:

       MOVEPatientRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel         1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.1.2
       MOVEStudyRootQueryRetrieveInformationModel           1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.2.2
       MOVEPatientStudyOnlyQueryRetrieveInformationModel    1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.2.3.2

       The movescu application will propose presentation contexts for  one  of
       the  abovementioned supported SOP Classes depending on the command line
       options (-P, -S, or -O). It will also  propose  the  corresponding  SOP
       Class  from the following list, although it is not really used (this is
       a relict of the RSNA'93 demonstration):

       The movescu application will usually accept presentation  contexts  for
       all  of  the  abovementioned  supported  SOP  Classes  using any of the
       following transfer syntaxes:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2
       LittleEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2.1
       BigEndianExplicitTransferSyntax                      1.2.840.10008.1.2.2

       When acting as an SCP, the movescu  application  will  prefer  transfer
       syntaxes having an explicit encoding over the default implicit transfer
       syntax.  If  movescu  is  running on big-endian hardware it will prefer
       BigEndianExplicit to LittleEndianExplicit  transfer  syntax  (and  vice
       versa).  This  behavior  can  be changed with the --prefer options (see
       above).  Using  option  --accept-all  any  of  the  following  transfer
       syntaxes is supported:

       LittleEndianImplicitTransferSyntax                   1.2.840.10008.1.2

       (*) if compiled with zlib support enabled (see --version output)

       The movescu application does not support extended negotiation.

   Access Control
       When  compiled  on  Unix platforms with TCP wrapper support, host-based
       access control can be enabled with the  --access-control  command  line
       option.  In  this case the access control rules defined in the system's
       host access control  tables  for  movescu  are  enforced.  The  default
       locations  of  the  host access control tables are /etc/hosts.allow and
       /etc/hosts.deny. Further details are described in hosts_access(5).

EXAMPLES
       movescu --patient --port 9876 --move TEST_AE --call ARCHIVE caesar 104 q.dcm

       sends the attributes contained in the DICOM file 'q.dcm' as part  of  a
       C-MOVE request to application entity ARCHIVE on the host caesar at port
       104 using the Patient Root query model. movescu itself uses the default
       AE title MOVESCU. The C-MOVE request will specify that images should be
       transferred  to  the  destination  AE  title  TEST_AE  (via  the --move
       option).  How  the  SCP  interprets  this  request   depends   on   its
       configuration.   movescu   will   listen  on  part  9876  for  incoming
       associations in order to receive the requested images from the SCP.

       Images can be copied to a third party by using a different  destination
       AE  title (e.g. --move ANOTHER_AE). Of course, the SCP must 'know' this
       AE title and the destination must be acting as an SCP  of  the  Storage
       Service Class (the storescp application can be used for this purpose).

LOGGING
       The  level  of  logging  output  of  the various command line tools and
       underlying libraries can be specified by the  user.  By  default,  only
       errors  and  warnings  are  written to the standard error stream. Using
       option --verbose also informational messages  like  processing  details
       are  reported.  Option  --debug  can be used to get more details on the
       internal activity, e.g. for debugging purposes.  Other  logging  levels
       can  be  selected  using option --log-level. In --quiet mode only fatal
       errors are reported. In such very severe error events, the  application
       will  usually  terminate.  For  more  details  on the different logging
       levels, see documentation of module 'oflog'.

       In case the logging output should be written to file  (optionally  with
       logfile  rotation),  to syslog (Unix) or the event log (Windows) option
       --log-config can be used.  This  configuration  file  also  allows  for
       directing  only  certain messages to a particular output stream and for
       filtering certain messages based on the  module  or  application  where
       they  are  generated.  An  example  configuration  file  is provided in
       <etcdir>/logger.cfg.

COMMAND LINE
       All command line tools  use  the  following  notation  for  parameters:
       square  brackets  enclose  optional  values  (0-1), three trailing dots
       indicate that multiple values are allowed (1-n), a combination of  both
       means 0 to n values.

       Command line options are distinguished from parameters by a leading '+'
       or  '-' sign, respectively. Usually, order and position of command line
       options are arbitrary (i.e. they  can  appear  anywhere).  However,  if
       options  are  mutually exclusive the rightmost appearance is used. This
       behavior conforms to the  standard  evaluation  rules  of  common  Unix
       shells.

       In  addition,  one  or more command files can be specified using an '@'
       sign as a prefix to the filename (e.g. @command.txt).  Such  a  command
       argument  is  replaced  by  the  content of the corresponding text file
       (multiple whitespaces are treated as a  single  separator  unless  they
       appear  between  two  quotation marks) prior to any further evaluation.
       Please note that a command file cannot contain  another  command  file.
       This  simple  but  effective  approach  allows  one to summarize common
       combinations of options/parameters and  avoids  longish  and  confusing
       command lines (an example is provided in file <datadir>/dumppat.txt).

EXIT CODES
       The  movescu  utility  uses  the following exit codes when terminating.
       This enables the user to check  for  the  reason  why  the  application
       terminated.

   general
       EXITCODE_NO_ERROR                         0
       EXITCODE_COMMANDLINE_SYNTAX_ERROR         1
       EXITCODE_INSUFFICIENT_PRIVILEGES          2
       EXITCODE_SETUID_FAILED                    3

   output file errors
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_WRITE_OUTPUT_FILE        40
       EXITCODE_INVALID_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY        45

   network errors
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_INITIALIZE_NETWORK       60
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_NEGOTIATE_ASSOCIATION    61
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_CREATE_ASSOC_PARAMETERS  65
       EXITCODE_NO_PRESENTATION_CONTEXT         66
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_CLOSE_ASSOCIATION        67
       EXITCODE_CMOVE_WARNING                   68
       EXITCODE_CMOVE_ERROR                     69
       EXITCODE_CANNOT_CREATE_TLS_LAYER         70

ENVIRONMENT
       The  movescu  utility  will  attempt  to  load  DICOM data dictionaries
       specified in the DCMDICTPATH environment variable. By default, i.e.  if
       the   DCMDICTPATH   environment   variable   is   not   set,  the  file
       <datadir>/dicom.dic will be loaded unless the dictionary is built  into
       the application (default for Windows).

       The   default   behavior   should  be  preferred  and  the  DCMDICTPATH
       environment variable only used when alternative data  dictionaries  are
       required.  The  DCMDICTPATH environment variable has the same format as
       the Unix shell PATH variable in that a colon (':')  separates  entries.
       On  Windows systems, a semicolon (';') is used as a separator. The data
       dictionary code will  attempt  to  load  each  file  specified  in  the
       DCMDICTPATH  environment variable. It is an error if no data dictionary
       can be loaded.
