If the iApps were working on your iSeries, they will continue to work on the rSeries after you load the UCS. If want to move them over one at a time you will need a different procedure than what I described above. To move your iApps one at a time, I recommend getting on the CLI listing the VS then list all referenced elements and any other elements referenced by those until you have the full iApp application configuration listed. From there you can manually remove the iApp related "buckets/tags" i.e iAppName.app/vs_name and app-service /Common/

then

load sys config from-terminal merge

and paste in the clean elements. Keep in mind there is an order of precedence. 

Hope that helps
