We run that same product and our automation admins used to have a 
script that tried to do something with this.  If they had just checked with
the vendor or done a search (which I ended up doing for them), they
would have found there is a documented process for terminating the
links between systems that use TCPIP, thus removing the PID / use
of z/OS Unix and allowing AFOPER to shut down OMVS without killing
itself in the process.

If you search ibm.com for "AFOPER OMVS SHUTDOWN" you will get
this hit:
