| 8 Analyzing your problem | |
| 9 ---------------------- | |
| 10 | |
| 11 When you face a problem, you should first check out the following | |
| 12 resources: | |
| 13 | |
| 454 | 14 1. Make sure that you use the `latest version of Orthanc |
| 15 <http://www.orthanc-server.com/download.php>`__. | |
| 16 2. Make sure to :ref:`check all the content of the Orthanc Book | |
| 277 | 17 <orthanc-book>`, and notably to :ref:`understand the basics of |
| 18 DICOM <dicom-guide>`. | |
| 454 | 19 3. Carefully read your :ref:`log files in verbose mode <log>`. |
| 20 4. In the case of DICOM networking problems, carefully read the log | |

24 setup issues. |
| 454 | 25 5. Follow the :ref:`general troubleshooting guide <troubleshooting>`. |
| 26 6. If the problem is related to the DICOM network protocol, follow | |
| 271 | 27 the :ref:`DICOM troubleshooting guide <dicom>`. |
| 454 | 28 7. Have a look at **all** the :ref:`frequently asked questions (FAQs) |
| 271 | 29 <faq>` that are already available in the Orthanc Book. |
| 454 | 30 8. Make a search for similar problem previously discussed in the |
| 271 | 31 `Orthanc Users discussion forum |
| 32 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`__. | |
| 454 | 33 9. Check out the ``Pending changes in the mainline`` section of the |
| 271 | 34 `NEWS file |
| 360 | 35 <https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/default/NEWS>`__, as |
| 271 | 36 your issue might already be solved in the mainline of Orthanc (i.e. |
| 37 in the cutting-edge version of Orthanc since the last stable | |
| 38 official release). | |
| 454 | 39 10. Carefully read the `TODO file |
| 40 <https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/default/TODO>`__ that | |
| 41 contains our roadmap, as you might be requesting a feature that is | |
| 42 currently pending in our backlog (i.e. not implemented yet). | |
| 43 11. Look for similar issue in the `official bug tracker | |

| 57 Discussing a minimal working example | |
| 58 ------------------------------------ | |
| 59 | |
| 60 If none of these resources help, you can consider sending a message to | |
| 61 the `Orthanc Users discussion forum | |
| 62 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`__. In such a | |
| 63 situation, you **must** provide a `minimal working example | |
| 64 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_working_example>`__, which means that | |
| 65 you must provide all the following information: | |
| 66 | |
| 67 * Context and full textual description of your issue. When talking | |
| 68 about DICOM networking issues, carefully describe the imaging | |
| 69 modalities into play (including their manufacturers) and your | |
| 70 network topology. | |
| 446 | 71 * The observed vs. expected results. |
| 271 | 72 * Full :ref:`configuration files <configuration>`. |
| 73 * Full logs as produced by Orthanc in :ref:`verbose mode <log>`. | |
| 74 * Sample DICOM files. | |
| 75 * A sequence of command lines that lead to your problem. These command | |
| 321 | 76 lines must only use commands that are available as free and |
| 77 open-source software, that are cross-platform (:ref:`proprietary | |
| 78 software does not help <proprietary>`), and that are preferably | |
| 79 calls the :ref:`REST API of Orthanc <rest>`. The most useful | |
| 80 commands are `cURL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL>`__, `DCMTK | |

| 93 using the DICOMweb plugin of Orthanc, but is a fully separate | |
| 94 project. As a consequence, questions regarding OHIF must be asked on | |
| 95 the `dedicated discussion group | |
| 96 <https://groups.google.com/g/cornerstone-platform>`__ or on the | |
| 769 | 97 `dedicated bug tracker |
| 98 <https://github.com/OHIF/Viewers/issues>`__. The core developers of | |
| 99 Orthanc will happily fix the :ref:`DICOMweb plugin <dicomweb>`, but | |
| 100 it is necessary for the reporter to identify the discrepancy wrt. | |
| 101 DICOMweb standard by providing a minimal working example as | |
| 102 explained above. | |
| 103 | |
| 271 | 104 |
| 105 All this information is mandatory, as it allows other members of the | |
| 106 Orthanc community to **reproduce your problem independently of your | |
| 107 setup**. If we can't reproduce your issue, we can't provide any | |
| 108 support! | |
| 109 | |
| 330 | 110 In addition, please note that the original author of Orthanc |
| 111 (Sébastien Jodogne), as a free software advocate, will only personally | |
| 112 deal with issues that are reproducible on recent GNU/Linux | |
| 113 distributions (typically, on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or through Docker). | |

| 119 --------------------- | |
| 120 | |
| 121 If you are **sure** that you are reporting a yet unknown bug, you can | |
| 122 consider directly introducing a `bug report on our issue tracker | |

| 271 | 124 that your issue might be closed if too vague or if not reproducible. |
| 774 | 125 As a consequence, it is strongly advised to use the `discussion forum |
| 126 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/orthanc-users>`__ in the | |
| 127 first place. | |

| 134 | |

| 139 :ref:`minimal working example <support-mwe>` using only free and | |
| 140 open-source tools, use the `Orthanc Users discussion forum | |
