DataStage DFD REST API should support stopping a running job and resetting a failed job

We are using DataStage to move large volumes of data into our data lake. We have our own UI our users use to run jobs that ingest their data into our data lake. The reason we have our UI instead having our users use DFD directly is to meet governance requirements. Our UI calls DataStage DFD REST API to run DataStage jobs that move data but as there is no API for stopping a running job we are not able to meet our requirement of giving users the ability to stop a job that they had started.

The DataStage sequence jobs we run via the DFD REST API has the 'Allow multiple instances' option enabled so we can run the same job concurrently with different parameters and invocation ID. We had to design these jobs so that they never abort because DFD REST API does not support resetting a job if it were to ever abort, unlike the DataStage Director client which lets users reset a job or a particular invocation ID of a job. We report back to the user the completion status of these top level sequence jobs exactly as DataStage reports it because we do not want to maintain the complexity of having to check the completion status of all Job Activity stages run by the sequence to see if one of them aborted and if so, report the entire sequence as failed to the user. As a result currently we always report to users that the job succeeds and they'd have to look in the logs to find that actually one of the activities in the sequence failed and so the data movement actually failed. If DFD REST API supports resetting a job invocation it will enable us to let sequence jobs abort when they actually should abort and report completion status accurately.
