Running the sitemap generator ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The `sitemap_generator` script must be invoked with the following argument: * `--lib-hostname`: specifies the hostname for the catalog (for example, `--lib-hostname https://catalog.example.com`); all URLs will be generated appended to this hostname Therefore, the following arguments are useful for generating multiple sitemaps per Evergreen instance: * `--lib-shortname`: limit the list of record URLs to those which have copies owned by the designated library or any of its children; * `--prefix`: provides a prefix for the sitemap index file names Other options enable you to override the OpenSRF configuration file and the database connection credentials, but the default settings are generally fine. Note that on very large Evergreen instances, sitemaps can consume hundreds of megabytes of disk space, so ensure that your Evergreen instance has enough room before running the script. Sitemap details ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The sitemap generator script includes located URIs as well as copies listed in the `asset.opac_visible_copies` materialized view, and checks the children or ancestors of the requested libraries for holdings as well. Scheduling ~~~~~~~~~~ To enable search engines to maintain a fresh index of your bibliographic records, you may want to include the script in your cron jobs on a nightly or weekly basis. Sitemap files are generated in the same directory from which the script is invoked, so a cron entry will look something like: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12 2 * * * cd /openils/var/web && /openils/bin/sitemap_generator ------------------------------------------------------------------------
