12. Now, go to Source Settings and fill out all required information regarding the FTP server and the file storage.
    
    
    
    
13. After completing the above information, go to Review and Run
14. Click Save and Run Now to execute the integration.
    
    
    
    
15. After the conclusion, you can check the status of the execution on this same screen. Check the logs on Last Run Time parameter. You will see one of the three icons next to the last execution time:
    
    - A rex x will mean the integration fails. Click in the execution time to check the logs and be able to identify what caused the failure;
    - A yellow exclamation sign means the integration concluded but with a few warning messages. Check the logs to see what are the warnings messages, most of the time the warnings messages do not cause any failure to the integration;
    - A green icon means the integration runs successfully;
    
    
16. After running the integration, you can run the report again and check if the information were masked successfully.
    
    

Observation: 

When using multi-stage application, some fields can be made required for some specific status in the pipeline, if the fields are not filled the application will not be updated due to the missing required fields.

If one record fails it will not cause the whole integration to fail, it will not update just the record with a missing required field. If just a few records do not get updated, you can enable the EDIT_CANDIDATE_SNAPSHOT and update those records manually. Check article 2081624 - Edit Candidate Profile Snapshot - Recruiting.
