Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, screenshots, and operational details are centered around Windows environments, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. The gateway is described as a Windows service, and administrative tasks reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, NT SERVICE accounts). There are no examples or instructions for installing or running the gateway on Linux, nor are Linux-specific patterns, tools, or troubleshooting steps provided.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state OS support: Clarify whether the on-premises data gateway supports Linux and macOS. If not, explain why and provide alternatives.
  • Provide Linux/macOS installation instructions: If supported, add step-by-step guides for installing and configuring the gateway on Linux/macOS, including screenshots and command-line examples.
  • Include Linux/macOS service management: Document how to start, stop, and manage the gateway service on non-Windows platforms (e.g., using systemd or init).
  • Offer Linux/macOS troubleshooting: Add troubleshooting steps and FAQ entries relevant to Linux/macOS environments.
  • Mention cross-platform tools: If PowerShell is required, note how to use PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or provide equivalent bash/shell commands where possible.
  • Balance examples: Ensure that code snippets, commands, and screenshots are provided for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
