   • Note that you will be prompted to select the destination for your account.

5. Select the destination for extracting Rakuten data for replication and click Confirm. An integration successful message will be displayed.

Important Note

• Integrations would begin in the Pending state and change to the Active state once the first job successfully loaded data into the configured warehouse.

• Users can check job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name in the active list.

• Users can Re-Authenticate, Edit, Clone, Pause, or Delete the integration at any moment by clicking on settings. You can also adjust the frequency and history of the integration.

• On the Sources page, click Integration to access each table in your integration. The page also shows the state of each table, the last replicated time, and the Reload access buttons.
