+## Alternative cronjob for large catalogs
+
+>[!NOTE]
+>
+>For stores with large catalogs, an alternative cronjob can be used to ensure that all data is generated.  
+>In `app/code/Magento/Sitemap/etc/config.xml`, replace:
+>
+>```xml
+><jobs>
+>  <sitemap_generate>
+>    <schedule>
+>      <cron_expr>0 0 * * *</cron_expr>
+>    </schedule>
+>  </sitemap_generate>
+></jobs>
+>```
+>
+>with:
+>
+>```xml
+><jobs>
+>  <sitemap_generate_batch>
+>    <schedule>
+>      <cron_expr>0 0 * * *</cron_expr>
+>    </schedule>
+>  </sitemap_generate_batch>
+></jobs>
+>```
+>
+>This change enables batch sitemap generation, which is recommended for large catalogs.
