1. From Site > Utilities or Organizations > Utilities select Adapters Administration in the System Administration section of the page to open the Adapter Administration window.
2. From the Adapter Definition table, select the adapter you want to modify and click Edit . The Adapter Definition window opens displaying the predefined Adapter Type, Adapter Name, and Set Adapter Attributes.

Field
Description
Display Name
The descriptive and unique name to identify the adapter that is easily understood by users. The adapter display name can have special characters and spaces. This field is optional
* 
When creating multiple adapters, do not use identical display names for adapters. This results in not being able to differentiate between multiple display names in the system.
Web Service Path
The path for the WSDL file for the Integrity Source (SCM) adapter describing the Integrity Source Web Services abstractly.
When entering values such as URIs and URLs into the Property Administrator, Info*Engine identifies filepaths using the forward slash (/) as the separator in LDAP entries. The back slash (\) character is used as an escape character.
For example, http://<host>:<port>/webservices/2009/7/Source/?wsdl
* 
The forward slash (/) is the directory separator used on Windows systems.
