Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_tools
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring the use of the 3270 Design Tool, which is dependent on Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 (Windows-only), and by not mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux users. There are no Linux-compatible tools or instructions, nor are there any examples or guidance for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide information about the platform compatibility of the 3270 Design Tool. If it is Windows-only, state this explicitly and suggest workarounds for Linux users (e.g., using Wine, or running in a Windows VM).
- If possible, offer or reference a cross-platform or Linux-native tool for generating HIDX files.
- Include explicit instructions or examples for Linux users, such as how to upload files to Azure from Linux (e.g., using Azure CLI or azcopy), and clarify that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS.
- Mention any limitations or requirements for Linux users upfront in the prerequisites section.
- If the connector or related tools are only supported on Windows-based App Service plans, clarify this and provide guidance for Linux-based plans or environments.
