IBM DataStage Flow Designer REST API - Multiple compile jobs feature

We are looking for a REST API call that perform multiple compile jobs feature (the same feature available into Datastage Designer Client).
In the doc (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSZJPZ_11.7.0/com.ibm.swg.im.iis.ds.fd.doc/topics/rest_api.html#compile) we found only instructions for compile one job at time.
Can you implement one API Rest call for allow users to compile multiple job in one time?

It should be very useful in order to automate on Linux server based compile phase in terms of Delivery from one Environment to another one (for example from quality to production) without installing any Client tier (currently no way to do than on Linux O.S.) and a rest Call could be simply integrate into one more complex bash script.

Considering current available features the automatic delivery in a Linux based environment is inefficient (integration with windows dedicated server for compile jobs), heterogeneous (linux/windows mixed solutions), expensive to develop (in terms of virtual/bare servers and scripting develop bash + powershell windows) and can not be centrally managed in a unique point.
