Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias by referencing SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and the New Subscription Wizard (both Windows-only tools) as primary configuration methods, without providing equivalent Linux-native instructions or examples. There are no explicit Linux command-line or cross-platform examples, and the documentation assumes the use of Windows-based SQL Server tools for replication setup and management.
Recommendations
- Include explicit instructions and examples for configuring replication using cross-platform tools such as Azure Data Studio (which is available on Linux) and direct Transact-SQL scripts that can be run from any OS.
- Provide command-line examples using sqlcmd or Azure CLI, which are available on Linux, for all major steps (creating publications, subscriptions, initializing data).
- Clearly mention and demonstrate how to perform all required actions from a Linux environment, including any prerequisites or differences in workflow.
- Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (like SSMS or the New Subscription Wizard) as the primary or only method; instead, present cross-platform or Linux-native methods first or alongside Windows methods.
