IBM Power Ideas Portal
This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
Shape the future of IBM!
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Search existing ideas
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

I am representing the IBM development team. We would like some further clarification as we consider this requirement.
1) Would you be willing to have the APIs go through RDi, or should this solution be completely on the server?
2) Would it be acceptable if the API all of the following with one call:
Use the input parameters to set an SEP on the specified location
Run the specified program in a separate job using SBMJOB
Switch to CC mode when the SEP is hit.
Generate a CC result at the specified location
Remove the SEP when CC is done
Or did you expect to have bracketing calls to set up the SEP in CC mode, then have the freedom to call the program in whatever way you wish and then make a concluding call to remove the SEP and generate the CC result.
The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.
An API will make the function usable in multiple environments.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.

Integration with DevOps is in the roadmap of any modernization. Code Coverage means control and both should run in the same workflow.
