Abstract
Adapters, which provide message communications capabilities in a multinode data processing network, are provided with a mechanism for indicating critical errors from which recovery may ultimately be possible. Error handling capabilities are incorporated which operate both globally and locally to insure, to the greatest extent possible, that applications running on the network are not prematurely terminated and that the node with the error affected adapter is not prematurely removed from its connectivity with the other nodes within it network group.
