Compress Data (Configure Compress Data)

The Compress Data action compresses data stored in a repository which is intended for recovering some storage space by compressing data that is no longer used.  

 Set up an action to compress data as follows:

1. Create and save a worklist filter
2. Go to Worklists/Other Lists and find the created filter
3. Select the Configure Compress Data icon
4. Make the desired changes and select the Configure   icon

A Configure Compress Data page will appear for the selected worklist filter:

• Enable - enables the action

• Apply to current content - server will process all data on current worklist (not recommended)

• Batch size -  maximum number of studies to process each cycle

• Scheduling -  instructs the server when to process the data (usually immediately upon arrival)

• Include priors - instructs server to include priors

• Compression format

• JPEG Lossless

• JPEG 2000 Lossless

• JPEG Lossy

• Override current compression

• Always - always apply the configured format

• Only if ucompressed (default) - compress to the configured format only if data is uncompressed

• If not in a supported compression format - compress to the configured format if the current format is not one of the available compression formats

• Override size difference (%)

• compressed file is saved if size difference exceeds the defined percentage value

• empty or 0% disabled the check and compressed file is saved regardless of resulting size difference
