The diagram below illustrates the location of the CARESTREAM PACS Info Router backup rule in the flow of information through the Workflow Manager:
The Info Router backup rule controls the migration of images from the online repositories to the RIS. When there are images that must be backed up, the Info Router backup rule initiates a request to move DICOM data (image/study) from the Online Storage Manager (WFM) location to the compatible RIS location.
When a new study is stored in one of the WFMs, the Info Router backup rule initiates a checking process to detect if the study should be moved to the RIS. If the study is new, then the complete study is moved into the RIS that was preconfigured to back up that specific WFM.
NOTE: The CARESTREAM PACS system can contain multiple RIS and WFM.
The migration process is triggered by a prescheduled, configurable timing schedule. The Info Router backup rule can handle image migration from multiple WFM to multiple LTSMs.
NOTE: The Info Router backup rule process runs at prescheduled, configurable times.
