Last update: Thu Nov 07 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

This article explains how to set a custom TTL (Time-to-Live) for specific assets in Dynamic Media Classic. Rather than relying on a single default TTL for all assets, you can assign unique expiration periods to selected assets.

Description description

Environment

Dynamic Media Classic (DMC)

Issue/Symptoms

By default, all assets in Dynamic Media Classic share a standard TTL. However, certain assets may require a unique TTL for specific use cases.

Resolution resolution

In DMC, go to Menu Setup > Application Setup > Metadata > User Defined Fields. Add a field named expiration for all assets, set the type to String, leave Default Value blank, and mark it Active.
Browse and select the asset for which you want to modify the default TTL.
In the Metadata tab, fill out the expiration field with the TTL in hours (e.g., 168 for 1 week).
In the browser, verify the asset URL with the developer toolbar on the *Network *tab and confirm the expiration time of the asset is set to the correct number of hours in the future.
