Ability to specify objects to OMIT/Ignore from the admin domain

While the administrative domain offers the ability to manually add resources into it, and provides capabilities such as ADDCADMRE that has wildcards and omits, one of the powerful features of the administrative domain are the automation policies: QCST_AD_CREATE and QCST_AD_DELETE. These policies automate much of the management of the administrative domain. However, they do not provide any way to specify certain resources that the administrative domain should not monitor.

In some instances, this means that application updates, which may delete and recreate a resource, can propagate that deletion to other nodes in the cluster, impacting availability on that node.

With these objects, if they are truly used by applications installed on both systems, those applications are responsible for those objects themselves, and they should never appear in the administrative domain. Therefore, to improve compatibility, automation, and flexibility of the administrative domain we would like a way to specify certain objects to be always omitted or ignored from administrative domain processing.
