Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a bias toward Windows by exclusively referencing Windows-based tools (such as Microsoft Host Integration Server and HIS Designer, which require .NET Framework 4.8 and Visual Studio), and does not mention or provide any Linux-compatible alternatives or examples. The setup and screenshots are all based on Windows environments, and there is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations:
- Provide information on whether the HIS Designer and related tooling are available or supported on Linux or macOS, or explicitly state if they are Windows-only.
- If possible, suggest or develop cross-platform alternatives for generating HIDX files or parsing host files, or provide guidance for using the connector from non-Windows environments.
- Include example workflows or instructions that can be followed from Linux or macOS, such as using Azure CLI, VS Code (cross-platform), or other non-Windows tools.
- Clarify any prerequisites that are Windows-specific, and offer workarounds or alternatives for Linux users where feasible.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs using cross-platform tools or interfaces, not just Visual Studio or Windows-only applications.
