Importing Routing Rules (Route.dic)
This section covers the following topics:
Creating and Importing a Routing Rules File
Routing Rules & Multiple Routing Gateways
This section assumes that you have prepared your routing rules as described in the
previous chapter.
Creating and Importing a Routing Rules File
Routing rules are initially defined in the
\DICOM\Dict\Route.dic
file, which is stored
on the Routing Gateway. This file can be created and modified using any text editing
program.
Routing rules take effect after
Route.dic
has been imported into a local MUMPS table
used by the Routing Gateway.
To create and import routing rules
1
On the Routing Gateway, use a text editor to open
x:\DICOM\Dict\Route.dic
,
where
x
is the name of the drive used by the Routing Gateway to store dictionary
files.
 The first time routing rules are defined; this file will need to be created. If you are
modifying an existing file, it is recommended that you create a backup copy of the
file.
2
Enter your rules.
Â
Route.dic
must end with a line-feed. To ensure proper termination of the last
meaningful line, add a comment-line after the last routing rule, such as:
# last update on 1 April 2003
# end of file
3
Save the file into the directory noted in Step 1.
 When using programs such as Microsoft Word, make sure that the file is saved in
“text only” mode.
 Confirm that the file extension is not changed by the text editor. The file will only
be imported if it is named
Route.dic
and if it is stored in the proper directory.
