Make it clear what resources are in-scope of a user issues a stop request name/SYG/name

User inadvertently issued a stop against the system resource name/SYG/name APG.

This obviously resulted in Automation shutting the system down, but this was not what the user intended!

    Hi. That's fine, but was something I was trying to avoid. I will pursue this option.

    Have you had chance to consider our idea to write an Exit? See the comment from Jan. 20th below.

    Thank you for submitting this request for enhancement. We have discussed internally a "What-If" utility - however came to the point that this cannot be accurate in an case.
    In addition, we have a growing number of interfaces, INGREQ is only one of it. In addition we have SMU as dasboard solution, we added the SA Operations REST API, Ansible playbooks and last not least
    the SA Plug-in for Zowe CLI - Ansible and CLI make use of the SA Operations API.
    So, all these interfaces would require a "what-if" mode to be sure.

    What do you think about writing an own EXIT that warns te user to issue requests against a SYG? This exit would also warn the user in the other cases.
