AEM OOTB Sitemap Scheduler not triggering and is not generating Sitemaps

Hi All,

AEM: 6.5.12


I’m encountering this issue for the first time. I’m currently using the AEM OOTB Sitemap generator for testing purposes. However, when I try to use the scheduler approach, the job gets stuck and doesn't trigger. please refer below screenshot.

 

 

The logs don’t provide much information. I’ve attempted to create the scheduler through /system/console/ConfigMgr and even added a run mode, but it still doesn’t work. However, the "On Demand" approach works perfectly fine. I checked from status-slingsitemap and it appears as scheduled.



I've done the the following actions:
- re-index from oak:index -> slingSitemap
- Adding  the config to be placed "/apps/system/conf/ (didn't work)
- Adding runmode config (didn't work).
- flushing classloader (didn't work).

Is there a way to know if the scheduler got stuck somehow?. if so, do you know the path where I can check it?. Previosly, it was working fine but not sure what changed.

    Hi @giuseppebaglio ,


    I know how to implement the OOTB Sitemap. I've gone through the official documentation long before. This doesn't solve the issue I'm having but thanks for the link.

    @luis_ochoa Have you tried adding the debug log for the package "org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler" and check the logs?

    Hi ​@Luis_Ochoa 

    As u mentioned that you are using OOTB sitemap generator, have you tried disabling the on demand flag in the sitemap generator for the scheduler job to run ?

    org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapGeneratorManagerImpl.cfg.json

    {
      "allOnDemand": false
    }

    Hey ​@Luis_Ochoa If On-Demand works but scheduled sitemap generation never triggers, check if org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapGeneratorManagerImpl is set to allOnDemand=true. That forces sitemaps to generate only on request, so the scheduler won’t create anything. Set allOnDemand=false. Also enable DEBUG for org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler to see execution details in logs. When the scheduler runs successfully, output is written under /var/sitemaps
