As a best practice you shouldn't be doing this, even though, some basic items can be still compatible and importable by just changing the Appian-Version in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to 6.6.0.0 , this approach is not supported and Appian cannot guarantee this import completely fine, which makes sense if we take in consideration that new versions have new features that may not be present/compatible with previous versions.

I tried your solution and worked with some errors. 36 of 48 imported successfully. I have the import log. How do I post the log?

Basically, this puts the system in an unsupported status. Nobody should be doing this that cares about their production system.

I have gone to the discussion, hit add attachment, selected Default Community, Appian KC, Discussion Topic Attachements, Eduardo Fuentes, selected Upload Document, browsed to the file, gave it a description, selected create, It indicated that it worked but I can not find the file to select it an add as an attachment. The file is named import_failure_log.zip. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it is not being loaded.

The import log confirms what Myles and I said; this is not supported because some features are not compatible with previous versions, if you see your import log, you have two problems; the first one is the target envrionment doesn't have a primary data soruce configured, and second, data stores from 6.6.1 are internally different from 6.6.1 therefore they are not importable into an old version of Appian. Please use an installation of 6.6.1 instead.

Thanks, That is what I thought. However, I did set up a primary data source. I wonder why it doesn't see it?

Although this is definitely not going to solve your problem of using the unsupported approach of importing a 6.6.1 one app in 6.6 you need to make sure you have configured the primary data source correctly to take advantage of the new features that require the data source.
Take a look at the beginning of the application server log, if the configuration is right you will see something like this:
Validating and initializing the primary data source: java:/AppianPrimaryDS
[java:/AppianPrimaryDS] Checking schema and migrating if necessary...
[java:/AppianPrimaryDS] Schema check/migration completed successfully.

If you see any errors related to your primary data source during JBoss startup (search for your JNDI name in the most recent entries in your log) share them with me so we can see what the issue is.
