How to start AEM with Dynamic Media

Dynamic media work as a run-mode in AEM and default it is disabled in AEM. When we start AEM using command we need to add "-r dynamicmedia_scene7" in the command line to start the AEM with dynamic media.

We could also set this run-mode in start file along with other run-modes separated by comma(,).

set CQ_RUNMODE=author,dynamicmedia_scene7

Note: we will try to change or schedule the production release within 2 hours then this option will not allow you to do so and an error message populates "Please make sure the selected date and time is between 2 and 72 hours in the future". In that case, use the Schedule production deployment release now option and proceed with deployment.
