Hi,

how to add new remote modality through restAPI without editing/touching orthanc.config file.

https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/rest.html?highlight=remote#sending-resources-to-remote-modalities-through-dicom-c-store

in above rest api, we can only modify remote modality.

is there any possible way-out to add new remote modality through rest API.

Thanks.

Hi,

You can create and update Modalities through the REST Api. The documentation to do that is https://api.orthanc-server.com/#tag/Networking/paths/~1modalities~1{id}/put

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I have tried the following command to create new modality.
curl -v -X PUT http://localhost:8042/modalities/sample -d ‘{“AET” : “ORTHANCC”, “Host”: “127.0.0.1”, “Port”: 2002}’

I am getting the following error

  • Trying ::1…
  • TCP_NODELAY set
  • Trying 127.0.0.1…
  • TCP_NODELAY set
  • Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8042 (#0)

PUT /modalities/sample HTTP/1.1

    }

I am new to using Orthanc. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Hello,

Your command works properly with Orthanc 1.9.2:

$ curl -v -X PUT http://localhost:8042/modalities/sample -d ‘{“AET” : “ORTHANCC”, “Host”: “127.0.0.1”, “Port”: 2002}’
[…]
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Make sure to upgrade your version of Orthanc.

Thank you for your quick response. I am using the following version

{
   "ApiVersion" : 12,
   "CheckRevisions" : false,
   "DatabaseBackendPlugin" : null,
   "DatabaseVersion" : 6,
   "DicomAet" : "ORTHANC",
   "DicomPort" : 4242,
   "HttpPort" : 8042,
   "IsHttpServerSecure" : true,
   "Name" : "MyOrthanc",
   "PluginsEnabled" : true,
   "StorageAreaPlugin" : null,
   "Version" : "1.9.2"
}



Thanks,

Narsimha

This is the same configuration as mine.

Here is how I start Orthanc:

$ docker run --rm -t -i -p 8042:8042 jodogne/orthanc:1.9.2

And here is the result of your command:

$ curl -u orthanc:orthanc -v -X PUT http://localhost:8042/modalities/sample -d ‘{“AET” : “ORTHANCC”, “Host”: “127.0.0.1”, “Port”: 2002}’

  • Trying 127.0.0.1…
    […]
    < HTTP/1.1 200 OK

As can be seen, everything works properly. You are most probably mixing different versions of Orthanc. In either case, I cannot provide any further support:

Narsimha, you are damaging the Orthanc bug tracker by reproducing this question on an issue that is by no way not related to your question. I had to disable your account on the bug tracker for this reason.

I have already posted two answers above. Continue to discuss your question on this thread, as explained in the Orthanc Book:

This is a question related to Windows system administration.

Indeed, the basic Windows prompt doesn’t support single quotes and thus requires escaping:

https://groups.google.com/g/orthanc-users/c/hKIcotiOlnA/m/xC-XGw3SHgAJ

Replace single quotes by double quotes, and prefix double quotes by a backslash character. The following syntax should work (untested, as I don’t use proprietary software):

$ curl -v -X PUT http://localhost:8042/modalities/sample -d “{"AET" : "ORTHANCC", "Host": "127.0.0.1", "Port": 2002}”
