Is it common practice for Verizon to park in a private driveway to perform services?

A verizon Vehicle with the plate {edited for privacy} parked in one of my parking spaces for approximatley 4 hours today (he's still there as I'm typing this). Is it common practice for a represenative to park in another person's private driveawy to perform services for other consumers? 
My son had no where to park, and he's still waiting for your rep to leave. 
I want to file a complaint against this worker. 
I can't even speak with him or her because they aren't in their car. 
Is Verizon above the law? Can you guys just legally park whereever you want to? Serious question, maybe there's something you know that I don't.

  • Common Practice For Storing Application Data Files

    During my application development targeting for XP and Linux time, I will store my application data files (Files where user may create, modify, rename, delete...) same path as my application directory. For instance, if my application is installed in :-
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.jar
    All my application data files will be located in
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ directory.
    This works quite well until Vista introduce UAC. Vista will not allow write opration to C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ folder (Config folder is being created during installer execution). However, to support legacy application, Vista use a workaround (Virtualization) for application to write. For example, MyApp.jar want to perform write on
    Real path :-
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config
    Vista will redirect it to :-
    Virtual path
    C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\MyApp\Config
    Please refer to the links for more detail
    [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/acl_common_data.aspx?display=Print]
    [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/MakingAppsUACAware.aspx]
    However, this introduce several additional problems [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387]
    May I know what is the common practice for storing an application data files? The below are my several thoughts
    (1) Writing to
    * Windows XP - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows Vista - %systemdrive%\ProgramData
    * Windows 2000 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows Server 2003 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows 98 - %systemdrive%\Windows\All Users\ Application Data
    which we may retrieve through "CommonApplicationData", using the API function SHGetFolderPath. However, how can we do that in Java? How to make compatible with Linux?
    (2) Writing to user home directory through "user.home" properties. Create a folder .MyApp and write the application data on it.
    Any input and suggestion are welcomed.
    Thanks!

  • Common practice for additional cost like banking fees on PO's

    Hi
    Is it common practice to use the Freight functions for other cost like banking fee or other fees?
    Can it be set up with different freight types that the user does not have to enter a value, instead he can just pick the type of freight and automatically gets the correct value?
    I tried, but I it die not work ... its always 0 as proposed value.
    Thanks
    Franz

    Hi,
       Since freight is an expense, you can use this functionality wherein expense is involved, there is no wrong in this. Unless you have to keep in mind that the expense occurred in the freight tab would include in the itemcost if you run the item valuation.
    To make the value come automatically you have to customize a bit. My idea would be define a user defined table, enter all the values required in it and apply a formatted search in the amount field which pulls the data from the user defined table.
    Hope you understood.
    Regards,
    Aditya

  • I just signed up for Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service? I have decided to switch to another service provider. Are there any other cancellation fees on top of the $350 per line fee? Am I stuck with the phone?

    I just signed up with Verizon 45 days ago and am unhappy with my service. I know about the ETF fee of $350/ per line but are there any other fees I will need to pay for the actual phone.

    There are no other fees. You are not stuck with the phone, you can do whatever you would like to do with it.

    Thanks for the response.  It only goes to show how shady your actions are.  It is past the return time.'  Did you even read my complaint.  You have this set up so that no one knows about the charges until the return time has passed.  I pray every night that some attorney will take this issue on with a class action suit that includes punitive damages for the unethical sales practices.  My father is far from the first person caught up in this scheme.

  • AS2 common practices and party definitions

    Dear reader,
    I've a question about AS2 identifiers and common practices as is explained in more detail below:
    <b>Context</b>
    We have implemented Seeburger AS2 adapter on SAP XI.
    In our SAP XI environment we have depict parties in SAP R/3 (customers vendors etc) in SAP XI as well to enable clear depiction of message flows.
    For large companies we may find several SAP XI parties because the company may have and an office in Canada and an office in the US. (These are two parties in the SAP R/3 system as well)
    The company uses <u>one</u> AS2 server to communicate.
    Seeburger AS2 adapter allows <u>one</u> AS2 identifier to be defined for <u>one</u> SAP XI party. It is not possible to define the same AS2 identifier for two SAP XI parties.
    <b>Questions</b>
    Is it common practice for large company to use <u>one</u> AS2 identifier for all their offices? Can we expect to have <u>several</u> AS2 identifiers, one per office?
    If large companies only use one AS2 identifier is it wise to introduce a new SAP XI party specifically for AS2 communications and tigh the AS2 identifier to this party?
    Note the questions above only apply to inbound processing. For outbound processing the sender and receiver party (AS2 identifier) can be set using a header map in an receiver agreement.
    Your help is appriciated.

    Harald,
    I think that the best way is to create different services for every division under the party (company) with multiple divisions. (Exp. for Party BMW you can have services BMW_DE and BMW_USA). AS2 ID is unique and even for large companies (if they have one IT department) is possible using of the same AS2 ID.

  • Common practice to stop thread - checking flag or checking interrupt status

    Hello all, from the official document from Sun http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/misc/threadPrimitiveDeprecation.html , I was understand that the common practice to stop a thread is to
       private class StockMonitor extends Thread {
            public StockMonitor() {
                thread = this;
            public void run() {
                final Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
                while(thisThread == thread) {
            public void _stop() {
                thread = null;
            private volatile Thread thread;
        }However, the need to have an extra flag is rather cumbersome. Hence, is it a common practice which we can stop a thread by checking its interrupt status? What is the pros and cons of the two methods?
    Thanks
        private class StockMonitor extends Thread {
            public StockMonitor() {
                thread = this;
            public void run() {
                final Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
                while(thisThread.isInterrupted()) {
            public void _stop() {
                interrupt();
        }

    However, I thought checking thisThread.isInterrupted() is enough? As the following case...
    public void run()
        while(Thred.currentThread().isInterrupted())
            // Do something
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            catch(InterruptedException exp) {
                // Must break while loop from here. This is because interrupted
                // flag had been reset. If not, we will not able to
                // exit this while loop.
                break;
        }So, is there any need for a boolean type status flag? Can you please provide me any case, where it is impossible to achieve by just using checking thisThread.isInterrupted() checking?

  • How to populate tax area for IT 207? what is the common practice?

    Gurus,
    How to populate tax area for IT 207? what is the common practice?
    The residential address IT 0006 is a new your address with ZIP code 10001
    PA30 for IT 207 displays 4 tax areas for the new york address.
    FED     Federal     0000-0001       99999-9999
    NY     State of New York             14999-9999
    NY01     New York City          14999-9999
    NY02     Yonkers                   14999-9999
    I thought, each zip code will map to only one tax area.
    Thanks,

    This is the real world ! SAP does not design tax area based on zip codes. In our company, the tax lady calls the tax authorities to check what zip codes fall under that tax authorities.
    and BTW, with new BSI upgrade, you will find 12 more tax authorities for NY.
    Cheers !!!!

  • Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

    I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
    It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

    I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
    works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

  • Basic Strategy / Best Practices for System Monitoring with Solution Manager

    I am very new to SAP and the Basis group at my company. I will be working on a project to identify the best practices of System and Service level monitoring using Solution Manager. I have read a good amount about SAP Solution Manager and the concept of monitoring but need to begin mapping out a monitoring strategy.
    We currently utilize the RZ20 transaction and basic CCMS monitors such as watching for update errors, availability, short dumps, etc.. What else should be monitored in order to proactively find possible issues. Are there any best practices you all have found when implimenting Monitoring for new solutions added to the SAP landscape.... what are common things we would want to monitor over say ERP, CRM, SRM, etc?
    Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!

    Did you try the following link ?
    If not, it may be useful to some extent:

  • Workflow not completed, is this best practice for PR?

    Hi SAP Workflow experts,
    I am new in workflow and now responsible to support existing PR release workflow.
    The workflow is quite simple and straightforward but the issue here is the workflow seems like will never be completed.
    If the user released the PR, the next activity is Requisition released that using task TS20000162.
    This will send work item to user (pr creator) sap inbox which when they double click it will complete the workflow.
    The thing here is, in our organization, user does not access SAP inbox hence there are thousands of work item that has not been completed. (our procurement system started since 2009).
    Our PR creator will receive notification of the PR approval to theirs outlook mail handled by a program that is scheduled every 5 minutes.
    Since the documentation is not clear enough, i can't digest why the implementer used this approach.
    May I know whether this is the best practice for PR workflow or not?
    Now my idea is to modify the send email program to complete the workitem after the email being sent to user outlook mail.
    Not sure whether it is common or not though in workflow world.
    Any help is deeply appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    "This will send work item to user (pr creator) sap inbox which when they double click it will complete the workflow."
    It sounds liek they are sending a workitem where an email would be enough. By completing the workitem they are simply acknowledging that they have received notification of the completion of the PR.
    "Our PR creator will receive notification of the PR approval to theirs outlook mail handled by a program that is scheduled every 5 minutes."
    I hope (and assume) that they only receive the email once.
    I would change the workflow to send an email (SendMail step) to the initiator instead of the workitem. That is normally what happens. Either that or there is no email at all - some businesses only send an email if something goes wrong. Of course, the business has to agree to this change.
    Having that final workitem adds nothing to the process. Replace it with an email.
    regards

  • Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

    What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

    Hi Brian,
    This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
    SRST Fallback
    This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
    Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    • First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
    • IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
    • Support for up to 240 phones
    • No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
    • Lack of support for alias command
    • Support for Cisco Unity® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
    • Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
    • Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
    • No support for secure voice in SRST mode
    • More complex configuration required
    • Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
    • E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
    Cisco Unified SRST
    • Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
    • IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
    • Support for up to 720 phones
    • Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
    • Support for alias command
    • Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
    • No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
    • Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
    • Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
    • No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
    These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
    Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
    Up to 4 phones
    Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 8 phones
    Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 25 phones
    Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 35 phones
    Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 50 phones
    Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 100 phones
    Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 350 phones
    Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
    Up to 480 phones
    Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 730 phones
    *The number of phones supported by SRST have been changed to multiples of 5 starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T3.
    From this excellent doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/data_sheet_c78-485221.html

  • Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

    I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.

    I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
    But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.

    Hi,
    I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
    Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
    The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
    It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
    http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
    Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)

  • Best practice for PK and indexes?

    Dear All,
    What is the best practice for making Primary Key and indexes? Should we keep them in the same tablespace as table or should we create a seperate tableapce for all indexes and Primary Key? Please note I am talking about a table that has 21milion rows at the moment and increasing 10k to 20k rows daily. This table is also heavily involved in daily reports and causing slow performance. Currently the complete table with all associated objects such as indexes and PK is stored in one seperate tablespace. If my way is right then please advise me how can I improve the performance of retrival or DML operation on this table?
    Thanks in advance..

    Well, thanks for valueable advices... I am using Oracle 8i and let me tell you exact problem...
    My billing database has two major tables having almost 21 millions rows each... one has collection data and other one for invoices... many reports are showing the data with the joining of Customer + Collection + Invoices tables.
    There are 5 common fields in between invoices(reading) and collection tables
    YEAR, MONTH, AREA_CODE, CONS_CODE, BILL_TYPE(adtl)
    My one of batch process has following update and it is VERY VERY SLOW:
    UPDATE reading r
    SET bamount (SELECT sum(camount)
    FROM collection cl
    WHERE r.ryear = cl.byear
    AND r.rmonth = cl.bmonth
    AND r.area_code = cl.area_code
    AND r.cons_code = cl.cons_code
    AND r.adtl = cl.adtl)
    WHERE area_code = 1
    tentatively area_code(1) is having 20,000 consumers
    each consuemr may have 72 invoices and against these invoices it may have 200 rows in collection tables (system have provision to record partial payment against one invoice)
    NOTE: Please note presently my process is based on cursors so the above query runs for one consumer at one time but just for giving an idea I have made it for whole area.
    Mr. Yingkuan, can you please tell me how can I check that the table' statistics is not current and how can I make it current. Is it really effect performance?

  • Best Practice for Distributing Databases to Customers

    I did a little searching and was surprised to not find a best practice document for how to distribute Microsoft SQL Databases. With other database formats, it's common to distribute them as scripts. It seems that feature is rather limited with the built-in
    tools Microsoft provides. There appear to be limits to the length of the script. We're looking to distribute a database several GBs in size. We could detach the database or provide a backup, but that has its own disadvantages by limiting what versions
    of the SQL Server will accept the database.
    What do you recommend and can you point me to some documentation that handles this practice?
    Thank you.

    Its much easier to distribute schema/data from an older version to a newer one than the other way around. Nearly all SQL Server deployment features supports database version upgrade, and these include the "Copy Database" wizard, BACKUP/RESTORE,
    detach/attach, script generation, Microsoft Sync framework, and a few others.
    EVEN if you just want to distribute schemas, you may want to distribute the entire database, and then truncate the tables to purge data.
    Backing up and restoring your database is by far the most RELIABLE method of distributing it, but it may not be pratical in some cases because you'll need to generate a new backup every time a schema change occurs, but not if you already have an automated
    backup/maintenance routine in your environment.
    As an alternative, you can Copy Database functionality in SSMS, although it may present itself unstable in some situations, specially if you are distributing across multiple subnets and/or domains. It will also require you to purge data if/when applicable.
    Another option is to detach your database, copy its files, and then attach them in both the source and destination instances. It will generate downtime for your detached databases, so there are better methods for distribution available.
    And then there is the previously mentioned method of generating scripts for schema, and then using an INSERT statement or the import data wizard available in SSMS (which is very practical and implements a SSIS package internally that can be saved for repeated
    executions). Works fine, not as practical as the other options, but is the best way for distributing databases when their version is being downgraded.
    With all this said, there is no "best practice" for this. There are multiple features, each offering their own advantages and downfalls which allow them to align to different business requirements.
