Software product CLIP

CLIP consists of a privileged (TPR) component and a non-privileged (TU) component. JMS loads the non-privileged component of CLIP when the CLIP subsystem is launched, while DSSM (Dynamic Subsystem Management) handles the loading and unloading of the privileged component. 

The primary objectives of the CLIP subsystem are to:

• Prepare the CLIP TU job,
• Handle FITC connections with the TU part, 
• Accept interface calls from privileged tasks and transfer them to unprivileged memory space,
• Communicate with the operator through console messages,
• Write internal log records on pubset.

The CLIP Batch Job functions as a daemon task that operates in the background. Its primary tasks consist of:

• Communicating with the CLIP Subsystem,
• Accepting incoming messages from CLIP subsystem,
• Parsing messages,
• Communicating with the rsyslog server,
• Uploading parsed messages.

During regular operation, CLIP is imperceptible to both users and administrators and requires no management.
