Link creation from RQM to RM is not creating backlink from RM in a Global Configuration project using OSLC API . The snippet was working as expected 2 weeks back. The snippet used is below: Can you please support us.
jar used : oslc-java-client.2.3.0


        ClientResponse rqmResponse = null;
        boolean flag = false;
        try {
            TestCase testCaseofID = getTestCaseForGC(testcaseID);
            String testCaseURI = testcaseID;
            Link newLink = new Link(new URI(artifactURI));

            Link[] validateRequriement = testCaseofID.getValidatesRequirements();
            if (!Arrays.asList(validateRequriement).contains(artifactURI)) {
                Link[] allValidatesLink = new Link[validateRequriement.length + 1];
                int i = 0;
                for (Link dngLink : validateRequriement) {
                    allValidatesLink[i++] = dngLink;
                }
                allValidatesLink[i] = newLink;
                testCaseofID.setValidatesRequirements(allValidatesLink);
                // Updating test case
                rqmResponse = client.updateResource(testCaseURI, testCaseofID, OslcMediaType.APPLICATION_RDF_XML);

                if (rqmResponse.getStatusCode() == 200) {

                    logger.info("Successfully added requirement link for " + testcaseID);
                    flag = true;

                }
            } else {
                logger.info("Testcase : " + testcaseID + " is linked to artifact " + artifactURI);
                
                flag = true;
            }
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {

            logger.error("Error Occured in creating requirement link! Please check. Status Code : "
                    + rqmResponse.getStatusCode() + " : " + e.getMessage());
            flag = false;

 Backlinks aren't created when configuration management is enabled.

Hello Barnard, is there a way to create backlink from DNG in gc?

No - backlinks are intentionally not created/used. When you create the forward link the browser UI will show you a "backlink" but that is dynamically calculated for presentation/usage purposes rather than (as before configuration management was enabled) being actually stored as an actual backlink.
