1. Log in to the environment where the catalog you want to share is stored (e.g. CSZ)

2. Navigate to Content Hub, then select Catalogs.

   

3. Click the ellipsis next to the catalog that you wish to share and select Publish settings.

   

4. A new pop up window will appear, then tick Enable Publishing.

   Note

   To enable password protection on your catalog, enter a password and type the same password again to confirm then click on Save.

   

5. Once the publishing settings is saved, it will return to the Catalogs page again.

6. Click the ellipsis next to the catalog that you wish to share and select Publish settings.

   Note

   This time it will show the subscription URL. Highlight the URL and hit Ctrl+C on your keyboard to copy the URL details somewhere safe i.e. notepad.

   

7. Then login to the other environment where you want to share this catalog to (e.g. SSZ).

8. Navigate to Libraries, then select Catalogs > New.

   

9. Then perform the following:

   • enter the catalog name,
   • enable subscribe to an external catalog option,
   • enter the subscription url (by pasting the url copied earlier on step 6),
   • enter the password that was set earlier (Step 4), and
   • click OK.

   

10. Once the new catalog is created with subscription to the catalog (e.g. from CSZ), it will start performing synchronisation of the catalog items between Sovereignty Zones (e.g. CSZ to SSZ).

    

    Once the sync task is complete, the vApp templates/media from the new catalog can be utilised.
