Hi everybody,
I need to migrate an old Orthanc instance based on SQLite to a new one using PostgreSQL. I found the sample orthanc-setup-samples/docker/sqlite-to-postgresql at master · orthanc-server/orthanc-setup-samples · GitHub very interesting.
I have just a few questions:
- In the sample, the first step is to use the Advanced Storage plugin to “index” the old SQLite storage area, taking ownership of the data. After that, the housekeeper plugin is used to re-ingest the DICOM files with a specific name scheme.
My question is: are these steps mandatory? Would it be possible to migrate and let the housekeeper do its work at the same time? Based on the example, the migration could go from the first Orthanc (using SQLite) directly to the third Orthanc (using PostgreSQL), which indexes and takes ownership of the old SQLite storage, and re-ingests the files into the new custom folder name scheme through the housekeeper plugin. - In my old Orthanc (SQLite), I have studies with labels. If I follow the sample, I lose the labels because (as I understand) they are not stored in the DICOM files themselves, but in the Orthanc database.
Is there a way to preserve them during migration?
Tks a lot.
Regards,
Lorenzo
