Change externally stopped/started APL status to STUCK/STARTED2 if APL do not STOP/START within expected threshold

Improve IBM SA for z/OS to mark Externally stopped/started resource to PROBLEM status if resource is taking too long to STOP or START.

The SR (74898,001,866) was raised to resolve the issue when applications that have EXTERNAL STOP FINAL were left for a week in INAUTO status.

This occurred as a result of a user doing a STOP vote for an APG containing other APGs each with about 40 APLs. The APGs went to
STOPPING followed by the APLs, but before all the APLs had stopped, the user cancelled to top level STOP vote. This caused the APGs and APLs that were already STOPPED to restart, but those APLs in STOPPING stayed that way until manually corrected.

Could System Automation be improved to change the status of APLs to STUCK (if stopping) or STARTED2 (if starting) in above mentioned situation if STOP/START time thresholds were breached? As it is not right to leave APLs in good status such as AUTOTERM for whole week. If APLs is in STARTED2 or STUCK operators would be alerted.
