How to use 'Overwrite web layer' without popup in arcgis pro - arcgis

Currently when you use "Overwrite Web Layer" for example in a task, it shows a file popup to select the layer from disk. This is very annoying when adding this command to a task where a layer already exists in the current map, no need to go to disk! I would like this command to work the same as "Publish Web Layer" where it lets you select the existing layer from the map. How can I do this? Thank you.

I was able to find the answer. The answer is that this is currently a limitation of ArcGIS Pro. The "Publish Web Layer" is Model-Builder ready but the "Overwrite Web Layer" is not Model-Builder ready yet. (So you have the annoying pop-up window to go to disk to select layer). Hopefully this will be corrected in future versions of ArcGIS pro.

Clarify what is safari classic mode?

My outlook add-in submission failed because my add-in doesn't load successfully in safari classic mode (as per email received from outlook validation team).
It is working nicely on safari Version 13.0.5.
I have been trying to get clarification on how to test this also -- at least I think we're talking about the same thing. In our latest report from Microsoft, this is referred to as "Safari in Outlook Web App Classic mode." I've also seen the wording "classic experience."
My understanding is that this refers to a "classic" mode of Outlook, not of Safari. They happen to be testing it in Safari. We're able to get to the classic mode, or something like it, by going to this URL:
https://outlook.office.com/owa?path=classic
You'll see a different Outlook UI there. I don't think this is sufficient for really testing classic mode, because some of the links will take you back to the now-default UI.
Finally, we got past an issue that was worded as "not available to be loaded" by changing the minimum version of the requirement set specified in our add-in's manifest from 1.7 to 1.6. The symptom was that although you could add the add-in in classic mode, it didn't show up in the menu to use. Fortunately our add-in does work with 1.6. This doesn't seem quite right, but it does work, and might point you in the right direction.

Can't figure out how to create a new empty project on Watson Studio after the redesign

I'm taking the IBM Certification on Coursera and the instructions are to "create a project" and then select "visual recognition project" but after an apparent redesign, the 2nd option is no longer there. I read one previous post about this issue, but it did not solve my problem as the "create" button is grayed out and I'm not sure what to do to create this project.
Any tips would be appreciated
Seems you are working on the "Introduction to Computer Vision with Watson and OpenCV" course. If so, please check the discussion forum where the original answer was posted.
Reposting the key information here: You will now find the option to create a visual recognition project in the menu on the left-hand side:
Services > Watson Services > Add Service > Visual Recognition
See screenshot. According to a recent post, the course authors are working on updating the instructions.
As you said, Watson interface for the project creation had been changed. If you still don't know how to solve the issue, you can follow the instructions from this link to create a new project on Watson Studio. Before this new design, we had to choose which type of project we will work accordingly the service we'll use. but now, we just add services to our project without declaring them in the beginning.
After creating the project, do the following:
From the Settings page of your project in Watson Studio, click Add
service.
Choose the Watson services group.
Click the Visual Recognition service.
Click the New option to create a new instance of the Visual
Recognition service, or click the Existing option to select an
existing instance.
Let us know, if you face any other problem.

af:inputfile drag and drop not supported in IE11

For one of our clients we are building a web application with oracle adf.
One of the requested features of this application is having a drag-and-drop file upload.
Fortunately the af:inputfile component supports this feature out of the box.
Unfortunately that feature is not supported in Internet Explorer 11, which we absolutely have to support.
Now I have been trying to get it to work using the dropzone.js library and the drag and drop functionality seems to be working. but I haven't been able to get the POST request to the ADF side of things quite right.
Even if I did it would be a lot of custom code that would have to be maintained, if it's the only way to make it work that is fine but if there is a more elegant solution to this I would like to know.
What you can do is to use ADF JavaScript APIs, more specifically AdfFileUploadManager(https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/adf/api-reference-javascript-faces/oracle/adf/view/js/util/AdfFileUploadManager.html)
You need to instantiate it by giving it the ADF Component reference, which that can be an af:inputFile with display="none"
Then you can utilise your DropZone or any other functionality and use addFileToQueue to send this information to server side and convert it to UploadedFile.

Can't Find Option to Create Feature Layer

I have an ArcGIS online account, but I can't find option to create a feature layer.
I tried to create developers account, but yet didn't find a way to create feature layer service.
I have added data from CSV file, but don't find publish button so that it can be hosted using feature layer. How do I host my service as a feature layer?
There are (at least) three ways to do this.
Create a feature layer when uploading data. Per Esri help: When you are uploading the CSV to AGOL initially, you need to indicate that you want it also published as a feature layer:
Check the box next to Publish this file as a hosted layer.
If you leave the box unchecked, your data file is added to My Content,
but no hosted feature layer is published. You can publish the feature
layer later if you want. See Add items for more information.
Create a feature layer from already uploaded data, using the Create menu (when you're in your My Content page).
Click "Publish" from the item's specific page.
I have signed up for developers account, but didn't complete so that's why I was allocated public account rather than developers, so I created new developers account and used that account to login on arcgis.
Now I found the option to create feature layer, also found publish button,

How to use biometric fingerprint reader to develop a fingerprint database

I have purchased a simple biometric fingerprint reader that is usually used for laptop security through a USB connection. It is just called biomentric finger print reader, not branded! It came with the software for creating security for laptop, and it works great.
However, I had a different idea for it: I am intending to create a database of users fingerprints so that I can identify which user swiped their fingers on it, ie, to use it for different users' authentication using fingerprints. I don't seem to be making any head or tail on how to go about that.
I would like to find out if there is other kind of software to install that will make this gadget print the fingerprint or a code to say a spreadsheet or database whenever I swipe a finger on it? I was thinking it would be a simple as when I use a bar code scanner to print codes of various items to a spreadsheet.
Could someone please advise how to go about this. I believe it should do that but I just dont know where to start.
thanks.
As an alternative wrapper to WinBioNET as mentioned by Robinicks there is WinBiometric.Net.
Disclaimer: I do not own this project.
It has a really nice test project for playing around with the different API functions available in the Windows Wiometric Framework. This test project was monumental in helping me understand the Windows Biometric Framework.
The WinBiometric.Net wrapper has a claim of 100% API coverage, a NuGet package and has the MIT license.
I found it to generally have a very high quality of code as well.
As for storing the fingerprints in a database you could use the WinBioCaptureSample API function to capture a sample, which can then be stored in a database.
The sample can be converted into an image as well, there is a nice example of this in the wrapper.
I know this is an old question but I figured I'd post anyway.
You can use the WBF (Windows biometric Framework) API that is free, but you must first verify if your biometric device is WBF compatible. The documentation and samples for WBF are for C++, but there is a wrapper sample in C# that you can download here: Cirrostrata biometrics Regarding how to convert the scanned data into an image, you can check this post: How to convert winbio data into image. Hope this helps to start.
You can use the WinBioNET .NET wrapper for Windows Biometric Framework (WBF). It has a demo winforms app in the solution. Just open it up, select the demo app as the "startup project" and run. If you have any devices connected it will enumerate it at startup.
