Notification of network connection errors between connected software systems

A system for path determination for notification of network connection errors between connected software systems, comprising:

• a processor and a memory configured to provide computer program instructions to the processor to execute instructions;
• a connection error notification component for a local software system that uses one or more network connections to interact with a remote software system, wherein the connection error notification component includes a configuration component for configuration of a selection of one or more error notification paths;
• an enabling component for enabling the connection error notification component that remains dormant and has a connection monitoring component for monitoring the one or more network connections;
• and
• a connection error detection component for detecting an error in a network connection and a notification invoking component for invoking further operation of the connection error notification component, including:
• an error notification message building component for building an error notification message;
• and
• a notification sending component for sending the error notification message to the remote software system at an end of the network connection on which the error is detected via one or more error notification paths selected by a path configuring component according to the configuration.

A computer program product for path determination for notification of network connection errors between connected software systems, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• provide an error notification process for a local software system that uses one or more network connections to interact with a remote software system, wherein the error notification process includes a configuration of a selection of one or more error notification paths;
• enable the error notification process that remains dormant and monitors the one or more network connections;
• and
• detect an error in a network connection and invoking the error notification process, including:
• building an error notification message;
• and
• sending the error notification message to the remote software system at an end of the network connection on which the error is detected via one or more error notification paths selected according to the configuration.
