Troubleshooting: Searching an external system fails Topic number: 1541673238624

An error might occur if a user searches an external search location. To solve the issue, configure the column display differently.

Issue

When a user searches an external search location, such as IDC, an error might occur.

Details

If the user uses search parameters that are not supported by an external system, this can cause an error.

For example, IDC does not use series instance UID. If the Series instance UID column is displayed in the Search area, and the user searches IDC, the error will occur.

Solution

Do not display the Series instance UID column when searching IDC.

Your administrator must test how search works for each configured external system and check whether any columns displayed on the search pages cause issues.
