Configure Dynamic Media - Scene7 mode configuring-dynamic-media-scene-mode

In Experience Manager Author mode, select the Experience Manager logo to access the global navigation console and select the Tools icon, then go to Cloud Services > Dynamic Media Configuration.

On the Dynamic Media Configuration Browser page, in the left pane, select global (do not select the folder icon to the left of global), then select Create.

On the Create Dynamic Media Configuration page, enter a title, the Dynamic Media account email address, password, then select your region. This information is provided to you by Adobe in the provisioning email. Contact Adobe Customer Support if you did not receive the email.

Select Connect to Dynamic Media.

In the Change Password dialog box, in the New Password field, enter a new password that consists of 8-25 characters. The password must contain at least one of each of the following:

• Uppercase letter
• Lowercase letter
• Number
• Special character: # $ & . - _ : { }

The Current Password field is intentionally pre-filled and hidden from interaction.

If necessary, you can check the spelling of a password you have typed or retyped by selecting the password eye icon to reveal the password. Select the icon again to hide the password.

In the Repeat Password field, retype the new password, then select Done.

The new password is saved when you select Save in the upper-right corner of the Create Dynamic Media Configuration page.

If you selected Cancel in the Change Password dialog box, you must still enter a new password when you save the newly created Dynamic Media configuration.

See also Change the password to Dynamic Media.

When the connection is successful, set the following. Headings with an asterisk (*) are required:

• Company - the name of the Dynamic Media account.

  note important
  IMPORTANT
  Only one Dynamic Media Configuration in Cloud Services is supported on an instance of Experience Manager; do not add more than one configuration. Multiple Dynamic Media Configurations on an Experience Manager instance is not supported or recommended by Adobe.

  See also Configure Dynamic Media company alias account.

• Company Root Folder Path

• Publishing Assets - You can choose from the following three options:

  • Immediately means that when assets are uploaded, the system ingests the assets and provides the URL/Embed instantly. There is no user intervention necessary to publish assets.

  • Upon Activation means that you must explicitly publish the asset first before a URL/Embed link is provided.\ From Experience Manager 6.5.8 onwards, Experience Manager Publish instance reflects accurate Dynamic Media metadata values, such as dam:scene7Domain and dam:scene7FileStatus in Upon Activation publish mode only. To enable this functionality, install Service Pack 8, then restart Experience Manager. Go to the Sling Config Manager. Find the configuration for Scene7ActivationJobConsumer Component or create new one). Select the checkbox Replicate Metadata after Dynamic Media publishing, then select Save.

    

  • Selective Publish This option lets you control which folders are published in Dynamic Media. It lets you use features such as Smart Crop or dynamic renditions, or determine which folders are published exclusively in Experience Manager for previewing. Those same assets are not published in Dynamic Media for delivery in the public domain.
    You can set this option here in the Dynamic Media Cloud Configuration or, if you prefer, you can choose to set this option at the folder level, in a folder’s Properties.
    See Work with Selective Publish in Dynamic Media.
    If you later change this configuration, or you later change it at the folder level, those changes affect only new assets that you upload from that point forward. The publish state of existing assets in the folder remain as-is until you manually change them from either Quick Publish or the Manage Publication dialog box.

• Secure Preview Server - lets you specify the URL path to your secure renditions preview server. That is, after renditions are generated, Experience Manager can securely access and preview the remote Dynamic Media renditions (no binaries are sent back to the Experience Manager instance).
  Unless you have a special arrangement to use your own company’s server or a special server, Adobe recommends that you leave this setting as specified.

• Sync all content - Selected by default. Deselect this option if you want to selectively include or exclude assets from the sync to Dynamic Media. Deselecting this option lets you can choose from the following two Dynamic Media sync modes:

• Dynamic Media sync mode

  • Enabled by default - The configuration is applied to all folders by default unless you mark a folder specifically for exclusion.

  • Disabled by default - The configuration is not applied to any folder until you explicitly mark a selected folder for sync to Dynamic Media.
    To mark a selected folder for sync to Dynamic Media, select an asset folder, then on the toolbar, select Properties. On the Details tab, in the Dynamic Media sync mode drop-down list, choose from the following three options. When you are done, select Save. Remember: these three options are not available if you selected Sync all content earlier. See also Work with Selective Publish at the folder level in Dynamic Media.

    • Inherited - No explicit sync value on the folder; instead, the folder inherits the sync value from one of its ancestor folders or the default mode in the cloud configuration. The detailed status for inherited shows by way of a tooltip.
    • Enable for subfolders - Include everything in this subtree for sync to Dynamic Media. The folder-specific settings override the default mode in the cloud configuration.
    • Disabled for subfolders - Exclude everything in this subtree from syncing to Dynamic Media.

Select Save.

To securely preview Dynamic Media content before it gets published, Experience Manager Author uses token-based validation and hence Experience Manager Author previews Dynamic Media content by default. However, you can “allowlist” more IPs to provide users access to securely preview content. To set up this action in Experience Manager, see Configure Dynamic Media Publish Setup for Image Server - Security tab.

In the Details panel, in the Preset Name field, type a name for the preset.

In the Batch Set Type drop-down menu, select a preset type.

Do one of the following:

• If you are using a default naming convention that you previously set up under Application Setup > Batch Set Presets > Default Naming, expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Default.

• To define a new naming convention as you set up the preset, expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Custom.

For Sequence order, define the order in which images are displayed after the set is grouped in Dynamic Media.

By default, your assets are ordered alphanumerically. However, you can use a comma-separated list of regular expressions to define the order.

For Set Naming and Creation Convention, specify the suffix or prefix to the base name you defined in the Asset Naming Convention. Also, define where the set is created within the Dynamic Media folder structure.

If you define large numbers of sets, keep the sets separate from the folders that contain the assets themselves. For example, create an Image Sets folder and put generated sets here.

In the Details panel, select Save.

Select Active next to the new preset name.

Activating the preset ensures that when you upload assets to Dynamic Media, the batch set preset is applied to generate the set.

Expand Asset Naming Conventions, and then in the File Naming drop-down list, select Custom.

Use the Match and, optionally, Base Name attributes to define a regular expression for the naming of image assets that make up the grouping.

For example, your literal Match regular expression can look like the following:

(w+)-w+-w+

Expand Row Column Position, and then define the name format for the position of the image asset within the 2D Spin Set array.

Use the parenthesis to embrace the row or column position in the file name.

For example, for your row regular expression, it can look like the following:

\w+-R([0-9]+)-\w+

or

\w+-(\d+)-\w+

For your column regular expression, it can look like the following:

\w+-\w+-C([0-9]+)

or

\w+-\w+-C(\d+)

The samples above are for demonstration purposes only. You can create your regular expression however you want to suit your needs.

For Set Naming and Creation Convention, specify the suffix or prefix to the base name you defined in the Asset Naming Convention.

Also, define where the spin set is created within the Dynamic Media Classic folder structure.

If you define large numbers of sets, keep the sets separate from the folders that contain the assets themselves. For example, create a Spin Sets folder to put generated sets here.

Navigate to https://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr and search for Queue: Granite Transient Workflow Queue.

In the Maximum Parallel Jobs field, change the number to the desired value.

You can increase Maximum Parallel Jobs to adequately support heavy upload of files to Dynamic Media. The exact value depends on hardware capacity. In certain scenarios – that is, an initial migration or a one-time bulk upload – you can use a large value. Be aware, however, that using a large value (such as two times the number of cores) can have negative effects on other concurrent activities. As such, test and adjust the value based on your particular use case.

Select Save.

In the Number of connections field and/or the Active job timeout field, change the number as desired.

The Number of connections setting controls the maximum number of HTTP connections allowed for Experience Manager to Dynamic Media upload; typically, the predefined value of ten connections is sufficient.

The Active job timeout setting determines the wait time for uploaded Dynamic Media assets to be published in delivery server. This value is 2100 seconds (35 minutes) by default.

For most use cases, the setting of 2100 is sufficient.

Select Save.

In Experience Manager, select the Experience Manager logo to access the global navigation console and navigate to Tools > General > CRXDE Lite.

In the left folder tree, navigate to /etc/replication/agents.author/publish/jcr:content/damRenditionFilters to review the filters.

To define the Mime Type for the filter, you can locate the Mime Type as follows:

In the left rail, expand content > dam > <locate_your_asset> > jcr:content > metadata, and then in the table, locate dc:format.

The following graphic is an example of an asset’s path to dc:format.

Notice that the dc:format for the asset Fiji Red.jpg is image/jpeg.

To have this filter apply to all images, regardless of their format, set the value to image/* where * is a regular expression that is applied to all images of any format.

To have the filter apply only to images of the type JPEG, enter a value of image/jpeg.

Define what renditions you want to include or exclude from replication.

Characters that you can use to filter for replication include the following:

Navigate to content/dam/<locate your asset>/jcr:content/renditions.

The following graphic is an example of an asset’s renditions.

If you only wanted to replicate the original, then you would enter +original.
