Appendix B Creating Manifest Files
Manifest File Structure and Syntax
<item> or per <crawler> tag basis. For example, if every <item> tag is using the same server and ttl
attributes, you can create an <item-group> tag on top of these <item> tags and place the server and ttl
attributes in the <item-group> tag.
Using shared attributes makes any Manifest file with many <item> tags more efficient by consolidating
the <item> tags with shared attributes. If the same attribute value exists in both the <item-group> and
<item> tags, the value in the <item> tag takes precedence over that value in the <item-group> tag.
The <item-group> tag must be enclosed within the <CdnManifest> tag set and contain one or more
<item> or <crawler> tags.
Attributes
If an attribute value is present only at the <item-group> tag level, then it is inherited by its inner element
in the <item> tag. If an attribute value is present in a crawler job, its attributes, whether inherited or
owned, are propagated to the content fetched by the crawler job.
The following attributes can be shared across many <item> and <crawler> tags and are candidates for
the <item-group> level tag. See the “item” section on page B-28 for detailed descriptions of the
following attributes:
• cdn-url
• enableCookies
• expires
• failRetryInterval
• host
• ignoreOriginPort
• ignoreQueryString
• playServer
• prefetch
• wmtRequireAuth
• serveStartTime
• serveStopTime
• server
• src
• priority
• ttl
• type
• userDomainName
The following attributes described under the <host> tag attributes can also be specified by the
<item-group> tag.
• disableBasicAuth
• noProxy
• ntlmUserDomain
• password
• port
