Customer Data Schema Need
Hi,
We are upgrading our application to 8.4.1 and we see an additional property called customerdata.schema.name in setupDatabase.properties file which should be optional customer data schema separate from the default Pega data schema.
Since my application also uses Pega Marketing, can someone confirm this customer data schema is the same as the marketing schema we use ie. ExtMKTData or it's totally different?
The reason why I am asking this question because Pega marketing guide (Please refer to the attached screenshot) also suggests to specify customer data schema and I am not sure if we should use marketing data schema here as well.

The ExternalMKTData Data-Admin-DB-Name (DADN) was introduced prior to CustomerData. Both specify the location of the customer data schema. At this time Pega Marketing does not reference the CustomerData DADN, but may in the future.
You should specify the name of the existing schema being used for ExternalMKTData as the value of customerdata.schema.name
