To create a data store

The following create-datastore code example creates a data store with the name my-datastore.

aws medical-imaging create-datastore \ --datastore-name "my-datastore"

Output:

{ "datastoreId": "12345678901234567890123456789012", "datastoreStatus": "CREATING" }

Java
SDK for Java 2.x
public static String createMedicalImageDatastore(MedicalImagingClient medicalImagingClient, String datastoreName) { try { CreateDatastoreRequest datastoreRequest = CreateDatastoreRequest.builder() .datastoreName(datastoreName) .build(); CreateDatastoreResponse response = medicalImagingClient.createDatastore(datastoreRequest); return response.datastoreId(); } catch (MedicalImagingException e) { System.err.println(e.awsErrorDetails().errorMessage()); System.exit(1); } return ""; }

Python
SDK for Python (Boto3)
class MedicalImagingWrapper: def __init__(self, health_imaging_client): self.health_imaging_client = health_imaging_client def create_datastore(self, name): """ Create a data store. :param name: The name of the data store to create. :return: The data store ID. """ try: data_store = self.health_imaging_client.create_datastore(datastoreName=name) except ClientError as err: logger.error( "Couldn't create data store %s. Here's why: %s: %s", name, err.response["Error"]["Code"], err.response["Error"]["Message"], ) raise else: return data_store["datastoreId"]

The following code instantiates the MedicalImagingWrapper object.

client = boto3.client("medical-imaging") medical_imaging_wrapper = MedicalImagingWrapper(client)
