Just been on a conference call with the subcontinent...

They're the vendor, the onus is on them to provide a useful service. Being able to talk is part of it

But they can talk.

It's your fault you can't understand them.

That's what I'm told. Still don't understand him though.

I remember trying desperately not to laugh when the Indian DBA I was working with kept referring to the "bh" column in the database as the "beeatch" column

"What is this beeatch in the table?"

My last contract involved teleconference calls with me (a Glaswegian), some Yorkshire based Bobs and some Bobland based Bobs. I was probably the most difficult to understand, but listening to the Yorkshire based Bobs talking about "doing the needful, today afternoon to complete building t'server" was interesting to say the least

Glasgow accent can be difficult, but at least Glaswegians are capable of giving a straight answer to a simple question, i.e. 'yes' or 'no'. Much easier to deal with than;

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1?'

Bob; 'we have been doing our doings most needfully and plenty cheapness transferring build to server and setting up much quickness doings on acceptance server'.

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1?'

Bob; 'erm, many needful doings bla bla bla ....'

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1? Please answer YES or NO'

Bob; I have been answering already just now before doings'

MTT; 'sod this, I'm going for coffee'.

Except that the answer is more likely to be;

Yes = Aye, f**k it, awright.

No = Naw, nae f**kin' way by ra way.

A real Yorkshireman would just say "building server" rather than "t'server"

Aye, but I f**king well understand that.

I've got an e-mail from Bob and I nearly understand it;

Regarding your query of scheduling the interface for hourly run, it is possible to schedule it for every hour at a pre-decided time. But it would error out in case the previous execution is in wait of the response xml.
Besides this I see no issue in doing this. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
