Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Host Integration Server (HIS) and HIS Designer for Logic Apps, both of which are Windows-only tools. All instructions for generating the required HIDX metadata file depend on downloading and installing HIS Designer, which requires .NET Framework 4.8 (Windows-only). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor are alternative cross-platform tools mentioned. Screenshots and workflow steps reference Visual Studio, further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state HIS Designer is Windows-only and clarify platform requirements early in the prerequisites.
- Provide or reference alternative methods for generating HIDX metadata files on Linux/macOS, if available (e.g., CLI tools, open-source alternatives, or web-based solutions).
- If no alternatives exist, offer guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using a Windows VM, Azure Virtual Desktop, or Docker container to run HIS Designer.
- Include a note or section on cross-platform considerations and limitations.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific examples or workflows where possible, especially for file handling and workflow triggers.
