We are wanting to use RTC to manage documents. The documents will need to be referred to by a unique identifier.

Is there something like the URL/URI that is unique?

Geoff,

the key here is whether you refer to unique human readable identifier or just unique identifier. Each item in a jazz repository (especially files and file versions) have a UUID (a globally unique identifier). If you use a web client to browse to a file item you will see it in the URL. In Eclipse if you load a file in a workspace and open its properties you will find the UUIDs under Properties > Jazz SCM > Show UUIDs.
They look like this:

In RTC 5.0 human readable IDs have been introduced for SCM versioned content, with some restrictions as to how unique they are: https://jazz.net/library/article/1418

They look like this:
5

If any of these IDs fit the bill of want you want to achieve please mark this answer as accepted.

Hi,
If you store the documents in scm, you could create a custom attribute for files (needs rtc 6.0.1) that stores a unique ID that you can freely define.
I am not aware (but I may just not know :-)) that there is a dedicated uniue ID you can access for a file inside SCM.
