Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (SSMS, AzureDTExec.exe), providing only Windows command-line examples, and omitting any mention of Linux or cross-platform usage. The installation, configuration, and invocation instructions all assume a Windows environment, with no guidance for Linux users or alternatives for running SSIS packages outside of Windows.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state whether AzureDTExec and SSMS are available or supported on Linux or macOS. If not, clarify this early in the documentation.
  • If cross-platform support exists (e.g., via .NET Core, Docker, or Azure CLI), provide equivalent Linux/macOS installation and usage instructions.
  • Include Linux shell (bash) command-line examples alongside Windows examples, or clarify that only Windows is supported.
  • Mention any alternative tools or workflows for Linux users who need to run SSIS packages in Azure Data Factory.
  • Avoid assuming the presence of Windows-specific features (like 'Run as administrator', UAC, or UNC paths) without noting their absence or alternatives on other platforms.
