Domain sitemap In AEM 6.5

[RinkiShahi]

I have multiple country specific sitemap.xml (/us/en-us.sitemap.xml , /us/es-us.sitemap.xml) which is created using OSGI configuration (com.adobe.acs.commons.wcm.impl.SiteMapServlet).

Now I need a index sitemap at root of the domain (localhost:4502/sitemap.xml) having all the market's sitemap.

Any leads will be helpful how to create this.

Hi @RinkiShahi ,

The ACS sitemap generator is deprecated.

Follow the below thread for similar issue

That article is again creating for country specific , not domain root sitemap.xml

Hi @RinkiShahi ,

This is already accessible on root using "sitemap-index" selector.

---- 

For instance,

I have enabled sitemap generation in Advanced Properties for US & CA in WKND sites including the root page.

Now when I try to access :
http://localhost:4502/content/wknd.sitemap-index.xml

It yields:

The implementation is done using Apache Sling Sitemap – Sitemap Generator Manager configuration.

Hope this helps, thanks!

Hi @RinkiShahi ,

We have one checkbox in the page properties to generate a sitemap.xml for that page and its descendants. So If sitemap is generated for the (/us/en-us.sitemap.xml , /us/es-us.sitemap.xml) then on root page you can generate one more sitemap which will include all the site pages available for indexing.

For example , generate sitemap checked for we-retail root page. This property is available in advance tab of page properties.

Also, I found the below resource very helpful. Hope it works for you as well. Please take a look.

Hello All, 

one more question related to this, how can I externalize disallow or allow directives in Robots.txt file. "externalizer.domain" is only working for sitemap directives.
