Adding a DCT definition to a configuration

Dynamic content transformation (DCT) allows your origin server to serve a single variant of an object, either identity or gzip, and have the Lumen CDN dynamically transform that content into the desired variant. Use a DCT definition to specify the file extensions you want DCT applied to.

  1. From the main menu, select My Services > Caching. 
My Service - Caching
  1. From the lists, select the access group and SCID (service component ID) you want to work with. 
My Services - Caching (with SCID selected)
  1. From the list, select the configuration. 

To add a DCT definition to a configuration:

  1. From an open configuration, click Edit Configuration.
my services caching edit configuration
  1. In the Service-Wide Definition section, click DCT.

    Media portal lists the DCT definitions for the configuration (if any).
my services caching add configuration dct
  1. Click New Definition.
my services caching add configuration geo regions new definition with definition name and country added
  1. Type a name for the definition. (You can leave the auto-generated name or type a name more meaningful to you.)
  1. Add extensions to the definiton that you'd like DCT applied to:

    1. Type an extension in the field.

    2. To add additional extensions, click Add, then fill in the field.
  1. To make this definition the default DCT definition for the configuration, click the Default checkbox.
  1. If you need to edit or add other definitions, continue editing the configuration without saving. (Saving the configuration creates a new version.) When you're done editing the configuration, continue with step 8.
  1. Click Save (above the Service-Wide Definition section). You can also click Save As to save the configuration under a new name.
  1. If needed, add any notes to describe the changes you made.
  1. Click Save again.

    Media portal saves the configuration with the new definition.
