Execution Options Tab
The Execution Options tab allows you to specify the consequences of an error, including who is notified.
The “responsible role” is the user selected in the Responsible Role field under the General tab.
Notify the responsible role if there is an error
Send an email to the responsible role if an unexpected error occurs during execution of the activity.
Notify the responsible role on abort
Send an email to the responsible role if the activity aborts due to a fatal error.
Abort if there is an error
Aborts the activity if an unexpected error occurs during its execution.
* 
If the activity node is aborted, and the process includes linked activity nodes that depend on its completion, the linked activities cannot start.
Aborted activities can be restarted using the workflow process manager.
Abort the parent process (if any) on abort
Aborts the parent workflow process if the activity node aborts due to any fatal error.
Record variable changes
Records variable values entered by an individual assignee as part of the workflow history.
* 
This applies only to variables that are displayed in an activity and are editable by an assignee for the activity. These values are captured during workflow execution for each activity instance and for every time the activity is executed. The value of this property is defined on a per-activity basis.
Record task reassignment
Keeps a record of task reassignments associated with each task.
When you select this option, a record of the original assignee, the new assignee, the reason for reassignment, and the reassignment date is saved. These values are captured during workflow execution for each activity instance and for every time the activity is executed.
Record voting
If routing is set up, you can record the routing votes made by each participant as part of the workflow history.
Ignore unresolved role
Ignores an unresolved role even if the role is marked as required in the Participants tab. However, if the Create task for Responsible Role if unresolved role is ‘Required’ check box is selected, a task is created and assigned to the users in the responsible role.
The default setting of the Ignore unresolved role check box is determined by the value of the wt.workflow.engine.ignoreUnresolvedRole property.
Create task for Responsible Role if unresolved role is ‘Required’
Creates a task for the responsible role if a role marked as required for an activity cannot be resolved during workflow execution. No such task is created if the Ignore unresolved role check box is selected and the role is not marked as required.
By default, the Create task for Responsible Role if unresolved role is ‘Required’ check box is selected and disabled in the legacy workflow templates. In the workflow templates created inWindchill 11.1 M020 or later, the check box setting can be modified.
* 
The Create task for Responsible Role if unresolved role is ‘Required’ check box is automatically selected and disabled if you clear the Ignore unresolved role check box.
