Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, screenshots, and operational details are focused exclusively on Windows environments. The gateway is described as a 'Windows service', and only Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell cmdlets) are referenced for automation. There are no examples, instructions, or even mentions of Linux or cross-platform installation or management. The documentation assumes the user is operating on Windows, with no guidance for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit information about Linux and macOS support for the on-premises data gateway, if available. If not supported, state this clearly.
  • If Linux installation is possible, provide step-by-step instructions, including command-line examples and screenshots for Linux environments.
  • Include Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools, such as PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Bash scripts, CLI commands).
  • Mention any limitations or differences in gateway functionality between Windows and Linux.
  • Ensure that prerequisites and troubleshooting sections address Linux-specific considerations (e.g., service management, permissions, firewall configuration).
  • If the gateway is Windows-only, add a prominent note at the start of the document to inform non-Windows users.
