Identifying Content
Content items are identified within the delivery service configuration for prefetch and hybrid ingests.
Live program content is identified through the Live Program page, and therefore does not have content
items listed for it in the delivery service.
Note The recommended maximum number of prefetched content items is 200,000.
When you configure a delivery service for content acquisition, you must choose one of the following
methods:
• Identifying Content Using the CDSM
The CDSM provides a user-friendly interface that you can use to add content items and specify crawl
tasks without having to create and update a Manifest file. The CDSM automatically validates all user
input and generates an XML-formatted Manifest file in the background that is free of syntax errors.
Only one Manifest file is generated per delivery service for all content items. You can save your
CDSM-generated Manifest file to any accessible location.
• Identifying Content Using a Manifest File
The externally hosted Manifest files contain the XML tags, subtags, and attributes that define the
parameters for content ingest. You must be familiar with the structure of the XML-based Manifest
file and be sure the XML tags are properly formatted and syntactically correct before you can create
and use Manifest files effectively.
Identifying Content Using the CDSM
There are several options in identifying content to be acquired using the CDSM. You can do any of the
following:
• Identify a single content item.
• Define a crawl task that will search the origin server at the specified location (URL) and to the
specified link depth, and create a list of all content that meets those specifications.
• Define a crawl task with the specifications described in the bullet above, and in addition specify
content acquisition rules that further narrow the search.
