Migration Question

OK, Here's the situation:

I am using a software product from Computron called COOL (Computer Output
On-Line) on a
Sun Solaris 4000(soon to be a 5000).  What I am trying to do is
migrate(archive) reports on the server to an optical drive after 10 versions
of these reports are present.  I also will want to automate the process.


The problem is these reports go through a recording process in COOL where on
the day they are recorded they are placed in a date directory named for that
day (ex. If I record a report on March 29, 1998 it will be placed in a
directory named 19980329).  Another thing is that when a report is recorded
it is given a unique Document ID (ex. 00001205) This number increments every
time a report is recorded.  Now, If I have 11 versions of a report spread
out over 11 different date directories with 11 different Doc Id's, Is there
a way to to able to know when there is enough reports available to migrate
and to be able to locate all of them.

Basically I have two problems:

1) Identifying which Doc ID's go with which reports.

2) Migrating a file with multiple versions in multiple directories.

I have notified Computron but they have a different way of migration which
is not the way my client would like it done.  Computron has not gotten back
to me and I was just curious if anybody knew of Power Utility that could
help me.

Any help in this is appreciated.
