# Trigger C-STORE SCU

`POST /modalities/{id}/store`

Start a C-STORE SCU command as a job, in order to send DICOM resources stored locally to some remote DICOM modality whose identifier is provided in the URL: https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/users/rest.html#rest-store-scu

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `Asynchronous` boolean — If `true`, run the job in asynchronous mode, which means that the REST API call will immediately return, reporting the identifier of a job. Prefer this flavor wherever possible.
  - `CalledAet` string — Called AET that is used for this commands, defaults to `AET` configuration option. Allows you to overwrite the destination AET for a specific operation.
  - `Host` string — Host that is used for this commands, defaults to `Host` configuration option. Allows you to overwrite the destination host for a specific operation.
  - `LocalAet` string — Local AET that is used for this commands, defaults to `DicomAet` configuration option or `LocalAet` in the `DicomModalities`.
  - `MoveOriginatorAet` string — Move originator AET that is used for this commands, in order to fake a C-MOVE SCU
  - `MoveOriginatorID` number — Move originator ID that is used for this commands, in order to fake a C-MOVE SCU
  - `Permissive` boolean — If `true`, ignore errors during the individual steps of the job. Default value is `false`.
  - `Port` number — Port that is used for this command, defaults to `Port` configuration option. Allows you to overwrite the destination port for a specific operation.
  - `Priority` number — In asynchronous mode, the priority of the job. The higher the value, the higher the priority. Default value is `0`
  - `Resources` string[] — List of the Orthanc identifiers of all the DICOM resources to be sent
  - `StorageCommitment` boolean — Whether to chain C-STORE with DICOM storage commitment to validate the success of the transmission: https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/book/users/storage-commitment.html#chaining-c-store-with-storage-commitment
  - `Synchronous` boolean — If `true`, run the job in synchronous mode, which means that the HTTP answer will directly contain the result of the job. This is the default, easy behavior, but it is *not* desirable for long jobs, as it might lead to network timeouts.
  - `Timeout` number — DICOM SCU Timeout for this C-STORE command, in seconds. Orthanc will close the DICOM association if no DICOM messages (e.g., C-STORE responses) are received within this time period.
  - `UserData` object — User data that will travel along with the job.

## Response `200`

- object
  - `ID` string — In asynchronous mode, identifier of the job
  - `Path` string — In asynchronous mode, path to access the job in the REST API
