If your website is powered by NetSuite, A1 Sitemap Generator has to configured quite precisely to successfully crawl and create XML sitemaps.
From feedback received by customers of
A1 Sitemap Generator and
NetSuite we
know one has to configure our software quite carefully. The reason appears to be that NetSuite powered websites reserves

In Crawler engine | Advanced engine settings set/enable GET to be default for page requests.

- Settings to mimic "user surfing website":
- In General options and tools | Internet crawler set user agent to Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Win32).
- In Scan website | Webmaster filters disable/uncheck Download "robots.txt" and Obey "robots.txt" file if found.
You can
download demo project for creating sitemaps of NetSuite websites.
In our sitemap generator tool, make sure to use
