Enabling Logging for Oracle Internet Directory Garbage Collectors

If you enable logging for garbage collectors, then the directory server writes the information into a file in the file system. This information includes:

The job identifier
A job description of the garbage collector
The number of entries purged

To enable logging of garbage collection information:

Set the orclpurgedebug attribute to 1.
Set the orclpurgefilename attribute to a valid file name for the log file
Set the orclpurgefileloc attribute to the path name of the directory in which the log file is located.
Enable PL/SQL I/O. To do this:
1. In the database initialization file, include the following:
```
UTL_FILE_DIR=PATH_NAME
```
  where PATH_NAME is the one you specified in Step 3.
2. Restart the database.
