New API - submit JCL and wait till completion

[Joe-Winchester]

Requirement is to have the ability to submit a job and wait till its completion.
Issues to consider:
How long is the wait for - can a timeout value be passed in and what would the default be ?
What if the job goes onto the input queue ?
What is the response to the API ? Is a particular job file content to be returned and is this an input parm to specifiy which one, or should the list of all of the files be returned ?

1. default to 1 minute, with the ability for the user to define some setting to alter that
2. if the timeout is exceeded, return from the API with a specific status code and a URL (like you suggested)
3. we should have a setting in the API to tell it whether to concatenate all output spool files as one large file, or if the setting is activated, then return each spool subfile individually

3. By default bring back only RC, if it's not the desired one (setting?), user should ask for files... no need to waste bandwidth on RC=0, right?

What happens when I submit 1000 jobs (eg. regression suite) like this then?
