can be provided by specifying a default value for element or by linking
the element with an input node. During run time if no value is provided
for a mandatory element, the activity throws an exception, which is
reported by the Web Management Console. If a value is not provided
at run time for an optional input parameter, no exception is thrown
during run time.
