Before deploying your sitemaps, you should ensure that all the generated links are valid.
Oracle recommends that you write a script to test each URL in the sitemap against your application server and confirm that each link returns an HTTP 200 (OK) code. Broken links may indicate a mismatch between the URL formatting configuration file in your Assembler application, and the Sitemap Generator URL configuration file.
In addition to validating that links resolve to the same destination,
confirm that the links created by the Sitemap Generator correspond to the
canonical URLs created by the
CanonicalLinkBuilder class in your Assembler
application. You can compare the Sitemap Generator links to the links found in
the
<link rel="canonical" ... /> tag of each
corresponding application page
<head> element.
