Then there is no way to upload new metadata.

You can either recreate the RP or look through the metadata and see what's changed e.g. endpoint, certificate etc. and update manually.

If the relying party trust was created from the metadata, it has the URL of it already so just select it in the management console and click the following (and follow instructions on the screen):

If you never entered the URL before, before clicking on the link like above, add the URL:

Thanks for your response. But in my case there's no url provided.

If you have the Federation Metadata XML file, you can use PowerShell to update it. You'll need to run PowerShell as Administrator and then you can use Update-AdfsRelyingPartyTrust to update the data.

If your trust is called SAP, you can update it with Update-AdfsRelyingPartyTrust -TargetName "SAP" -Metadatafile FederationMetadata.xml.
