API to allow config and especially ad-hoc run of BICC extracts and jobs

Description
Request:
API to allow invocation of BICC extracts and BICC jobs (equivalent to manually creating a Schedule with Recurrence = "Immediate")
API to be synchronous – call does not return until extract is complete – and return an error code
API to include everything possible manually via Console. For example configuring and running an ad-hoc BICC Incremental from a specific Effective Date
Use Case and Business Need
Our immediate issue is wanting to run a set of BICC extracts on completion of other jobs (eg. GL consolidations, allocations etc.) which we would coordinate via job dependencies in our enterprise scheduling tool (control m). We also want to move the BICC data extracts from UCM to our data lake as soon as they are available (via a job that runs immediately on completion of the BICC extract).
Current workaround is highly inadequate: schedule BICC jobs at 5am, hoping that GL jobs are complete. We then schedule the push of files from UCM to our data lake at 6am, hoping the BICC files are written - we have to set conservative time buffers which slows down the end to end process, and still risks possibility of previous step not being complete.
