## Enum Constant Detail

### PER\_RUN

```java
public static final RunFolderPreference PER_RUN

```

**Deprecated.**

New run directory should be created for each run of a component. If one process is used to execute multiple runs of a component, each run will have a separate directory to keep its files. This preference should be used when needing result capture, or if a component modifies files during its execution (including log files).

### PER\_PROCESS

```java
public static final RunFolderPreference PER_PROCESS

```

**Deprecated.**

New run directory should be created for each process of a component. If one process is used to execute multiple runs of a component, only one directory will be created for all runs to use. This preference should be used when result capture is not needed, or if a component does not modify files during its execution (including log files). This mode should be chosen if unsure which mode a component should use.

## Method Detail

### values

```java
public static RunFolderPreference[] values()

```

**Deprecated.**

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

```java
for (RunFolderPreference c : RunFolderPreference.values())
    System.out.println(c);

```

**Returns:**

- an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

### valueOf

```java
public static RunFolderPreference valueOf(java.lang.String name)

```

**Deprecated.**

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match *exactly* an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

**Parameters:**

- `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

**Returns:**

- the enum constant with the specified name

**Throws:**

- `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
- `java.lang.NullPointerException` - if the argument is null

### toString

```java
public java.lang.String toString()

```

**Deprecated.**

Get value of enumeration

**Overrides:**

- `toString` in class `java.lang.Enum<runfolderpreference>`

**Returns:**

- enumeration value
