Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. It references 'IBM DB2 for Windows running in Azure virtualization' as the primary example of a cloud DB2 database, and in several places, Windows-specific terminology or authentication (e.g., 'Windows (Kerberos)') is mentioned. Username length for DB2 for Windows is highlighted (30 bytes), while Linux/UNIX is only briefly mentioned (8 bytes) and never prioritized. There are no Linux-specific examples, screenshots, or instructions, and the documentation does not mention Linux tools or patterns for connecting to DB2, nor does it provide parity in examples or troubleshooting for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit examples and screenshots for connecting to DB2 on Linux (and UNIX) servers, not just Windows.
- When listing supported platforms or username formats, avoid listing Windows first or giving it more detail than Linux/UNIX.
- Include Linux authentication options and clarify any differences or requirements for Linux-based DB2 servers.
- Mention Linux/UNIX as equally valid cloud or on-premises DB2 deployment targets, not just Windows.
- If there are Linux-specific considerations (such as case sensitivity, authentication, or firewall rules), document them.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps and connection string examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
