Modifying a Garbage Collector by Using Oracle Directory Manager

To modify a garbage collector:

1. In the navigator pane, expand in succession Oracle Internet Directory Servers, directory server instance, Garbage Collection Management, then select the garbage collector you want to configure. The Garbage Collector Window appears in the right pane.

2. In the Garbage Collector window, enter the values for this garbage collector. These fields are described in Table C-7.

3. Choose Apply.

Modifying a Garbage Collector by Using Command-Line Tools

This section provide examples of how to modify garbage collectors by using command-line tools. The garbage collection attributes that you can modify are listed in "Schema Elements for Predefined Garbage Collectors".

Example 1: Modifying a Garbage Collector

Suppose that you want the Tombstone garbage collector to run immediately. The LDIF would look like this:

dn: cn=tombstone purgeconfig, cn=purge config, cn=subconfigsubentry
changetype:modify
replace: orclpurgerun
orclpurgerun: 1

Load this entry with ldapmodify.

ldapmodify -h hostname -p port# -D username -w passwd -f  file_name_of_defined_
entry

Example 2: Disabling a Garbage Collector Change Log

Suppose that you want to disable changelog Garbage Collector.

dn: cn=changelog purgeconfig, cn=purgeconfig, cn=subconfigsubentry
changetype: modify
replace: orclpurgeenable
orclpurgeenable: 0

Load this entry with ldapmodify.

ldapmodify -h hostname -p port# -D username -w passwd -f  file_name_of_defined_
entry
