Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Host Integration Server (HIS) and HIS Designer, which are Windows-only tools, for generating required metadata (HIDX files). All setup instructions assume the use of Windows and .NET Framework, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives or cross-platform tooling. There are no Linux or PowerShell/Bash examples, nor any guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Document whether the HIS Designer or equivalent tooling is available for Linux or macOS, or provide alternative methods for generating HIDX files on those platforms.
  • If possible, offer a cross-platform or web-based tool for HIDX file creation and management.
  • Include explicit instructions or examples for Linux users, such as using Wine, containers, or remote Windows VMs for running HIS Designer.
  • Clarify any platform limitations in the prerequisites section, so non-Windows users are aware of requirements and workarounds.
  • Consider providing sample HIDX files or metadata for testing, so Linux users can follow the workflow steps without needing Windows-only tools.
