Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias primarily through exclusive reliance on Windows-only tooling (the 3270 Design Tool requires .NET Framework 4.8, which is Windows-only), and by not mentioning or providing Linux alternatives or examples for key steps such as metadata generation. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor is there guidance for users on non-Windows platforms. The documentation also references App Service Environment v3 'with Windows plans only' before clarifying connector availability, further reinforcing Windows-first positioning.
Recommendations
- Provide information about Linux-compatible alternatives for generating HIDX files, or clarify if the 3270 Design Tool can be run under Wine/Mono on Linux.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for the 3270 Design Tool, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux/Mac users.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform or web-based tool for HIDX file creation.
- Add a section addressing Linux users, including any steps they can take to use the connector (e.g., remote desktop to Windows, containerized tool usage, etc.).
- Ensure future documentation includes parity in examples and instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
