Enable Stop Deployment option

There are occasions where we accidentally click on deploy button and there is no way we can stop the deployment. Can the product atleast ask for a confirmation before initiating the process? or lets have a stop deployment option in the lower environments.

    Closing RFE since stop deployment is not feasible in the solution. Once the process start it is difficult to do a rollback in the pipeline.
    Customer advise to wait for the deployment to complete and start over.

    In SST, there is already a confirmation box for deployment. It's a two step process where user need to select the deployment package -> click on submit as seen in the screenshot

    To Cancel is difficult as the system will be in an unknown state during deployment. Suggestion is to wait for the process to complete and try again.

    If there is a need for a "confirm" button, the proposal is that IBM will add a Summary screen which shows the schedule and deployment package. The above screenshot would have a "next" button instead, which brings the user to a second stage to validate the deployment then submit. Let us know if this is needed.
