   The file is uploaded and data validation is performed.

   Metadata validation is performed immediately. If the file is valid, then IDP Metadata will be inserted and Entity Id will be displayed on the page. If the file contains invalid parameters and returns an error message, the IDP Metadata is not inserted.

   The maximum number of IDP Metadata that can be inserted is 1. If the user wants to insert new IDP Metadata, the existing metadata must be deleted and then uploaded with a new Metadata..
