## 6.9 UPS-RS Worklist Service

This DICOM Web Service defines a RESTful interface to the UPS SOP Classes (see PS3.3 and PS3.4). It consists of the following action types:

1. CreateUPS

   This action requests the creation of a UPS Instance on the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-CREATE operation.

2. UpdateUPS

   This action sets the attributes of a UPS Instance managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-SET operation.

3. SearchForUPS

   This action searches for UPS Instances known to the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE C-FIND operation.

4. RetrieveUPS

   This action retrieves a UPS Instances. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-GET operation.

5. ChangeUPSState

   This action sets the state of a UPS Instance managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-ACTION operation "Change UPS State".

6. RequestUPSCancellation

   This action requests the cancellation of a UPS Instance managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-ACTION operation "Request UPS Cancel".

7. CreateSubscription

   This action subscribes to a UPS Instance or the Global Worklist managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-ACTION operation "Subscribe to Receive UPS Event Reports".

8. SuspendGlobalSubscription

   This action suspends an existing subscription to the Global Worklist managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-ACTION operation "Suspend Global Subscription".

9. DeleteSubscription

   This action cancels an existing subscription to a UPS Instance or the Global Worklist managed by the Origin-Server. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-ACTION operation "Unsubscribe from Receiving UPS Event Reports".

10. OpenEventChannel

    This action initiates a WebSocket connection to allow the User-Agent to start receiving Event Report messages.

11. SendEventReport

    This action sends an Event Report using an open WebSocket connection. It corresponds to the UPS DIMSE N-EVENT-REPORT operation.

An Origin-Server shall support all of the above action types.

The requirements for a UPS-RS Origin-Server that is also a Unified Worklist and Procedure Step SCP are described in Section CC.1 in PS3.4
