Network Share (SMB)

QIE can be configured to save to a network directory. A username and password can be entered if required for access to the network share.

Path

Enter the full path to the network share as:

\server\directoryPath\.hl7.

If a port is required enter the path as: \server:port\directoryPath\.hl7

Note

The path can be entered using forward (/) or back (\) slashes.

Username/Password

Enter a username and password with access to the network share. The username can be entered with a domain if required.

Network Share Configuration Parameters

Selecting this checkbox allows entry of custom parameters for writing to the network share. Parameters are entered as key=value pairs, one per line. QIE uses the jcifs-ng Java library (version 2.1.10) for SMB connections; the parameter names follow the jcifs.smb.client.* namespace defined by jcifs-ng.

A few parameters that come up routinely:

Parameter Purpose
jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout Socket read timeout in milliseconds. Increase when a slow server causes writes to hang.
jcifs.smb.client.connTimeout Connection-establishment timeout in milliseconds.
jcifs.smb.client.responseTimeout How long QIE waits for a response from the server before giving up.
jcifs.smb.client.minVersion / jcifs.smb.client.maxVersion Restrict the SMB protocol version negotiated with the server (SMB1, SMB202, SMB210, SMB300, SMB311). Use when a server only supports a specific version.
jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled Set to true to disable DFS referral resolution when not needed.

For the full parameter list, see the jcifs-ng configuration documentation.
