An enumerated data type (or, simply, an “enumeration”) is a data object that stores a specific set of pre-defined values or objects. Enumerated data types serve the same purpose as constants. For example, an EamObjectRuntimeInfoGoalState enumerated type comprises a set of three pre-defined string values that can be used to convey the state of an agency:
enabled disabled uninstalled
Enumerated type values can be passed to or returned by the operations of a managed object. Properties of managed objects or data objects can also be defined using enumerated types.
