Stop/Start manage pods or other pods within Suite Administrator

In previous versions, you can restart "manage" within WebSphere or even within Weblogic when accessing the administrator console. The API calls are nice but require development of a solution to interact with it that are beyond some customer "know how". To simplify this, I would ask to add within the Suite Administrator on the workspace, the action to stop and start the manage pods or even the other pods deployed by MAS.

    Thank you for your idea.

    Unfortunately, for technical reasons we will not be implementing the suggested feature. In addition to the APIs we already have a suite configuration level methods of turning the manage pods off.
