A second suggestion from session 5.12 by the LIBIS consortium.

The recent May Release of Alma now includes a new set of APIs for managing Jobs. This new APIs are part of an initial set of capabilities for managing jobs, so stay tuned for even more great new Job API capabilities that will be released in upcoming months. For more details on the API, please see here: https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/alma/apis/conf

After reviewing this great idea, which already existed in our plans to a certain degree (see Alma's Roadmap Highlights - page 50 - Process Orchestration), Alma Product Management has decided to update our development plans to include the additional details as proposed in this suggested change. Thank you for your contribution

In particular, it would be useful to be able to download job reports when they complete via an API, in order to integrate reports into our automated processing workflows. Right now, we need to manually download the report spreadsheets to be able to follow up on errors included in them.
