2.2.4.3.1.1 Description and Sequencing of Activity
When the first image of a session arrives, an association will be opened to create an MPPS instance (via N-
CREATE) on the MPPS manager. "Workstation" will wait for an N-CREATE response from the Department
Scheduler (status success). When the N-CREATE response is received, the association with the Department
Scheduler will be closed. When the session is closed on "Workstation", an association will be opened to
complete the MPPS instance (via N-SET). Again "Workstation" will wait for an N-SET response from the
Department Scheduler (status success). Once the response is received, the association will be closed.
When all images of a study are transferred to another study and no new images are acquired before the
session is closed, an N-SET MPPS discontinued will be sent in stead of the normal N-SET response.
