Sitemap Scheduler Not Generating Sitemaps in AEM

[nerodhana]

I'm using AEM with the SitemapScheduler configuration to generate sitemaps on a scheduled basis. I've set up the scheduler with the following configuration:

{
  "scheduler.name": "Practice Daily Sitemap Scheduler",
  "scheduler.expression": "* * * * *",
  "searchPath": "/content/practice/us"
}

However, sitemaps are not being generated in /var/sitemaps, and I can't access them via the expected URLs. I've enabled on-demand sitemap generation, which is working fine. I've also ensured that the configuration file is placed under config.publish. Can someone help me identify why the scheduler isn't working as expected?

my crx de of author is : 

my crx de of publish is : 

when i turn on on demand sitemap generation it is getting generated like this : 

which is alright

the only problem is with the sitemap scheduler

please help me i have waited for one hour and still cannot see the sitemap 

Note : I am using aem as a cloud service sdk

@nerodhana :Are you trying to generate this every minute, seems un-usual (based on your cron - * * * * *).
Please check if there are errors in logs regarding this.

[nerodhana]

i just took the wynd project and implemented on it if it works on that i want to implement in the actual project and i just want to quickly check if the sitemap is generated thats why i kept the cron expression to run for every minute

and the logs have no errors and looks something like this :

Hi, Can you check this in the publisher? Scheduler-based sitemap generation is for publish environment -https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/sites/seo/sitemaps#sitemap-scheduler-osgi-configuration

[nerodhana]

checked on both author and publish individually but still did not worked on both of them iam using aem as a cloud service sdk is that might be the problem ?

[EstebanBustamante]

Hi, 

What is the name of the configuration file you are using? You should be naming something like this:

org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler~yourProject.cfg.json

On top of that, check if there are some issues in the log.

Hope this helps

[nerodhana]

yeah I have used like this : org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler~wknd.cfg.json

for the wknd tutorial project but still it is not working so i removed the ~wknd part still it is not working

[ManviSharma]

Hi ,

Could you please ensure the configuration file name is correct. It should be named using the persistent identifier (PID) of the SitemapScheduler service. The correct PID for the SitemapScheduler is org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler. So, your configuration file should be named org.apache.sling.sitemap.impl.SitemapScheduler-PracticeDailySitemapScheduler.cfg.json.

Regards,

Manvi

[nerodhana]

yes i have ensured the correct pid of the sitemap scheduler still it is not working. is it the problem with the short time i have given in scheduler like for every 1 minute it should generate sitemap ?

Hi, is this resolved? I am facing the same issue.

[MichaudRe]

I have been dealing with the same issue for about 4 days now, I've tried everything on the internet at this point and still cannot get the scheduler to trigger sitemap generation.

[pipe11]

I think your issue is the cron expression. You are using cron format but needs to be quartz format.

Another issue I came across is that anonymous user needs read access to var/sitemaps or you get 404.

[MichaudRe]

You are the first person I've seen mention that the cron expression needs to be in quartz format. I will give it a try sometime today ! 

[MichaudRe]

Could you please share how you provided access to this user to ? 

[pipe11]

There are different ways but the best is repoinit script under config.publish. It is surprising that non of the Adobe docs or guides mention this.

set ACL for anonymous
    allow jcr:read on /var/sitemaps
end
