Thanks Sebastiansierra for your kind advice! we don't want to upgrade software to 15.1.x on the i-series first because of the impact to the production. Can we directly upload the v13.1.x UCS file (i-series) onto r-series (OS version is 15.1.x)?  APM module is  not provisioned.  Thanks in advance!

Version 15.1.x is the absolute minimum supported on rSeries, so you will have to upgrade first.  You'll want to use "Journeys" to generate a compatible UCS file for the migration.  It'll run through all the issues you need to resolve as well.
