ERROR_RECEIVE_PARTIAL

What ERROR_RECEIVE_PARTIAL means

A network transport delivered only part of the available message or requested data. In practical terms, this status belongs to stream and message transport reads: the consumer must continue receiving because the current buffer or transport indication contains a partial result.

Typical causes

  • The receive buffer is smaller than the message
  • The transport naturally split data across packets or indications
  • An asynchronous API completed with fewer bytes than requested

How to investigate

  1. Record bytes requested, bytes received, message flags, and connection state
  2. Continue according to the API contract rather than assuming message completion
  3. Test framing logic with fragmented and coalesced network data

Developer guidance

Partial delivery is normal for stream protocols. Applications must accumulate data until their own framing rules indicate a complete message.
