Introduction

Welcome to the Intershop Commerce Management (ICM) SPARQUE Extension. The extension allows to set up and configure ICM data export and transfer to SPARQUE. The data (product, catalog) is required to build the SPARQUE search index and provide search functionality. Order data is necessary to create recommendations and to personalize the search results.

This document provides important product information, including version information and dependencies. It also outlines the basic setup steps.

It uses ICM Demo Data extensions to show how to build the necessary export. You need to adapt it in the project as required.
