To use a third party, custom-made, or seeded Dun and Bradstreet adapter with TCA, you must define and administer adapter configurations. For each third party or custom adapter, you specify information such as the adapter name and description, the method used to invoke the adapter, and the XML message format that the adapter uses.

First you search for the adapter to administer, by name or, for address validation adapters, the country that the adapters support. You can then:

• View adapter configurations.

• Update adapter configurations.

• Create adapter configurations after you verify from the search results that the adapters do not already exist.
