Record Deletion on a Remote System

Hello all...

I'm got a situation where as part of a transaction record purge, we need
to remove associated records from a set of files that are stored on a
remote system. This would be done by an automated process. The basic
scenario is as follows:

a) Collect transaction record control IDs
b) Remove transaction records from files on primary (host) system based on
control ID
c) Access remote system and remove auxiliary image records from files
resident here based on control ID.


I'm wondering if other people have had to do something similar and what
options they've tried.

So far I've been seeing simple FTP and use of DDM. Never liked DDM
personally and I'd prefer something that is SQL based if possible.

Have a good day.
