Just as an update, my supervisor was able to look into this and managed to figure out how to restart each application. He was able to recognize the list was a combination of TCP servers and HOST servers and just used F4 on "STRTCPSVR" and "STRHOSTSRV" respectively and then used F1 on the "Server application" and "Server type" fields respectively. He was able to match them up.
Mike, thank you for your response. I considered running ENDTCP and STRTCP from the DST but was not sure if that would have restarted every application I needed to restart. I read each TCP service has an "auto-start" setting which dictates whether or not it is started with a STRTCP command and I found how to change this setting. I would just have had to make sure this setting was enabled for each TCP application currently running (which wouldn't have been difficult). But as it turns out, not every application would have been affected by the STRTCP command. If it weren't for my supervisor, I might have just assumed a STRTCP/ENDTCP would have restarted each application. I would have found out otherwise once the old certificate expired and then left in the dark morning of.
The certificate is renewed, but I'm still curious on the subject and would appreciate suggestions as to how I could have found out more on these applications based on the Application ID in the DCM considering I didn't know the list only consisted of a combination of TCP and HOST servers. The F4/F1 method mentioned above would have only worked for the TCP servers but I would never have guessed to also check the STRHOSTSVR command to figure out the rest.

Subject: RE: Renewing iSeries Access SSL cert
There is a simple way but it may not fit your environment. During a downtime window do ENDTCP and STRTCP. That will end all TCP based services and restart them all. That is what we do. We actually do this every night at 3:00 am as part of our backup so if we put on a new certificate we just wait a day to get it applied. We do also have someone come in early the next day to test things to be sure all is well.
