Multi-org Usage 

In multi org scenarios, always specify the orgUrl parameter when creating components:

1// After initializing SDK with multiple orgs
2const viz1 = new AnalyticsVisualization({
3    parentIdOrElement: 'container1',
4    idOrApiName: 'Visualization1',
5    // Required in multi-org
6    orgUrl: 'https://org1.lightning.force.com'  
7});
8
9const viz2 = new AnalyticsVisualization({
10    parentIdOrElement: 'container2',
11    idOrApiName: 'Visualization2',
12    // Required in multi-org
13    orgUrl: 'https://org2.lightning.force.com'  
14});

The orgUrl parameter must be a Lightning URL (e.g., https://yourorg.lightning.force.com), not the my.salesforce.com domain URL.
