Issue/Introduction

BAS7890 introduces the MICS REST API Server 
(MRAS). 
                                                             
MRAS employs several modern technologies such as JAVA, 
ZOWE, Spring, and SSL/TLS to accept requests from the 
client and return, in real time, extracts from the MICS data 
base. 
                                                             
The returned data can be saved for later use (as a CSV 
file), or seamlessly integrated into a variety of 
applications of your choice such as MS-Excel, Grafana, 
and Tableau. 

Important note:

The binary file of the solution is large and in some cases
the ISPF EDIT SUB command may fail when trying to execute this job. 
In this case, use the TSO SUBMIT command.

This product change delivers new members to the       
sharedprefix.MICS.BIN and sharedprefix.PSP.BIN        
data sets, requiring approximately 16,000 blocks      
of 6,140 bytes or 2,000 3390 tracks.

It is recommended to check that the allocation      
of sharedprefix.MICS.BIN and                          
sharedprefix.PSP.BIN is large enough to prevent       
Sx37 ABENDs during application of this product        
change.

If sharedprefix.MICS.BIN and sharedprefix.PSP.BIN     
are not large enough, they will need to be            
reallocated with sufficient space and the current     
contents copied to the new library.
