While hard and soft capping effects the whole lpar WLM resource groups can
be used to only effect a specific workload; which depending on the product
can satisfy their requirements.

Not quite. Both 'hard' and 'soft' caps are set via the HMC.
But the OP was wanting to manage specific software products, and that
toolset does include all of hard capping, soft capping, and WLM
strategies.

You can soft cap the lpar through the HMC; or you can set up a wlm
resource
group to cap specific workloads.
The HMC is a hard cap.
The WLM can soft cap.
Plus, there are resource groups.
This capability has been around for years.
There is also the IBM utility for reporting on this.
