I complained about the process a few months ago when my cert expired. Trouble is, I do this only once and year and forget the steps.
First off, consult SMP/E User's Guide SA22-7773-xx . There's a discussion about the steps to take. Problem is, I found out (once again) that the directions for replacing an existing cert are not clear. There's no actual 'certificate replace' function. You have to delete the old certificate first, then add back the new one. As I recall (shoulda taken notes), deleting the old certificate makes something else disappear that has to be redefined manually; the book implies that no other steps are required. Anyhow, it's not trivial for a once-a-year procedure. . .

RACF won't import it. I've had success with a lrecl of 4096, recfm=vb.
