Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its reliance on the 3270 Design Tool, which requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8—a Windows-only prerequisite. There are no alternative instructions or tools for Linux or macOS users to generate the required HIDX file, nor is there mention of cross-platform compatibility for the design tool. All setup and workflow examples assume use of the Azure Portal (web-based), but the critical metadata generation step is Windows-dependent. Linux/macOS users are left without a clear path to complete the task.
Recommendations
- Provide information on whether the 3270 Design Tool can run under Wine or Mono on Linux/macOS, or offer a supported cross-platform version.
- List alternative methods or open-source tools for generating HIDX files on non-Windows platforms, if available.
- Explicitly state the platform limitations of the 3270 Design Tool and suggest workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
- Consider adding a note or section for Linux/macOS users outlining the steps required to obtain or generate HIDX files if they do not have access to Windows.
- If possible, develop and document a web-based or cross-platform tool for HIDX file creation.
