Associate Different Catalogs with Different Business Units
When you have multiple business units (BUs), you must create multiple usages, one for each BU. You can then associate a different catalog with each usage. This way, each BU is associated with a separate catalog.
If you have two BUs and you want to associate two different catalogs with the two BUs:
- Create two different catalogs.
