Frequently Asked Questions

From version 5, AccessBox supports Amazon S3 as storage target.

Perennity S3 storage includes a caching mechanism for writing/reading. Newly received studies are copied to the cache and to S3. Studies that are opened but not in the cache are copied from S3 to the local cache first. Cache cleanup has to be scripted for the moment, it's not automatic. You can use the attached Windows Powershell script to do so.

To set up S3 as storage path, connect to the Perennity database and edit the "config" table. Set the DCMS/storage_path parameter as follows:

s3://[aws-zone]:[access-key]:[private-key]@[bucket]

Example (values have been modified):
s3://ap-southeast-1:LZIAIEISVNVW44NMPE2Q:wqZ3K9FXIEKS6NSn7DaDZSFG9pwULVhFTexMlPA@storage.myimages.com

After restarting the Server service, the settings become effective.
