Content Exchange Repository Manager (ICE)
The content exchange repository is used for distributing offers (resource bundles) from syndicators to subscribers. The repository contains administrative data that controls the distribution of content as well as the actual content that is distributed.
In contrast to the ICE service, which carries out the distribution of offers using HTTP connections or e-mail and therefore needs an online connection, the ICE repository is responsible for distributing content in ways that require no online connection. The ICE repository enables the creation of zip files from the relevant offers. These offers are then made available to subscribers (for example, on CD-ROM). When the zip files reach the subscriber, they are also implemented using the ICE repository.
For more information, see Content Exchange .

The content exchange repository manager is preconfigured in the standard delivery. However, the /ice repository is not displayed in the main directory in the standard delivery.
If you want to export content you have to make this repository visible in the main directory. Deactivate the parameter Hide in Root Folder to do this. You do not need to do this if you only want to import content.
