Following links to DOORS requirements from RTC work items
I am using DOORS 9.4, DOORS Web Access 1.5, and RTC 3.0.1.3
From RTC, I can create a link to a DOORS requrement using the 'Implements Requirement' relationship.
When I try to follow the link, I get
HTTP Status 404 - /dwa/rdm
type Status report
message /dwa/rdm
description The requested resource (/dwa/rdm/) is not available
I have checked all my configuration settings, and can't seem to find my mistake. Any ideas on where to look?
More info: The work item will not save. The error is "There are problems modifying links that require the referenced resource to maintain a back link. Error accessing <long url="">: Not Found
If I create the link from the DOORS side, it works better, although the URL starts with "doors://" instead of "http://". I don't get any hover, and following the link opens the DOORS Protocol Handler instead of DWA.

This sounds like a configuration issue.
The use of ".../dwa/rm/..." is expected on working systems whereas ".../dwa/rdm/..." typically points to the relevant dbAdmin command not having been run.

You will see descriptions for the dwaHost, dwaProtocol and dwaPort parameters. These must be set for link rendering to work.
Note that link rendering will only work for links created after these options are applied.

One other answer
Do you mean RRC - Rational Requirements Composer or RTC - Rational Team Concert? It sounds like you mean RTC?
If it is RRC, when you say "Implements Requirement" do you mean the "Implemented By" link relationship?
With the "Implemented By" relationship I am surprised in the dialogue you can select the DOORS container because this type of relationship is used for linking requirements to work items (defects, tasks, stories, change requests) and not Requirement - Requirements.
Also if it is a custom link, and not a system defined link, I would again be very surprised that it would work across applications (RRC and DOORS).
If it is RTC, maybe this article will help https://jazz.net/library/article/624
