Thanks for the insight, this is definitely an option. The main concern with this solution is that I am not the SQL DBA and do not have and admin access to the DB or application servers, so I am now dependant on 3 parties to help support this process (myself, Oracle DBA, SQL DBA), plus it adds another point of failure. My main goal was to control as much of the process at the application level and let ARS do what it is designed to do.
I have built a dblink and a view form from remedy to a remote db in the past, about 6 years ago, but in a different configuration ARS on Oracle and the external db on SQL and that worked with any issues at all. The difference was not only the order of the db servers but I also had full Server Admin rights, where I am at now, I do not have the elevated privileges.
