Setting the Default Error Handling used by Activities in a Process

The Default Error Handling options allow you to define how the activities in a process should handle the error. The available error handling options are displayed in the following table:

 

Option
Description
Mark Activity as Failed
The activity status is marked as Failed if an error occurs.
Mark Process as Failed
The process status is marked as Failed if an error occurs.
Stop Current Process

otherwise continues by default.

A new process will start. When you check this option, you will
have to choose a process fom the Process field and select an
appropriate initiator from the Initiator field.
Data Item Mapping

another process is invoked. Select the data items you want to map
from Destination Data Item field and map it to the data item
available in the Value to Assign field.
