| Run modeHow should the step be executed? Possible values are "Direct", "Classic" or "Batch". The option "Direct" will create and use an autorun file to execute the build step. The option "Classic" will use "StartupCmd" and the option "Batch" adds the build step to an existing autorun file. To execute the existing autorun file use the Build step "AX Client - Execute autorun xml file". To create an empty autorun file use the Build step "AX Client - Create empty autorun xml file". | Picklist | True | Direct | — |
