The error in the status attached to the request will be set in case of failure. As the MPI error handler is triggered right before returning above the MPI layer, at the level where you placed your interception you have all the freedom you need to handle the faults. george. > > Thanks for the help. > > Hugo > > 2011/11/19 Hugo Daniel Meyer <meyer.h...@gmail.com> > > > 2011/11/18 George Bosilca <bosi...@eecs.utk.edu> > > On Nov 18, 2011, at 11:50 , Hugo Daniel Meyer wrote: > >> >> 2011/11/18 George Bosilca <bosi...@eecs.utk.edu> >> >> On Nov 18, 2011, at 11:14 , Hugo Daniel Meyer wrote: >> >>> 2011/11/18 George Bosilca <bosi...@eecs.utk.edu> >>> >>> On Nov 18, 2011, at 07:29 , Hugo Daniel Meyer wrote: >>> >>>> Hello again. >>>> >>>> I was doing some trace into de PML_OB1 files.
