Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Host Integration Server (HIS) Designer, which is a Windows-only tool, as the required method to generate the HIDX metadata file. There are no mentions of Linux-compatible alternatives or instructions for non-Windows environments. The only prerequisite for the HIS Designer is the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8, which is also Windows-centric. No Linux or cross-platform tooling is suggested, and all setup and workflow steps assume use of Windows tools and environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the HIS Designer tool is available for Linux or provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using Wine, containers, or remote Windows VMs).
- If no Linux-native tool exists, suggest alternative approaches for Linux users, such as using a Windows VM or Azure-hosted environment to generate the HIDX file.
- Document any command-line or cross-platform options (if available) for generating HIDX files.
- Consider providing sample workflows or instructions that can be followed from Linux environments, or clarify the limitations for non-Windows users.
- Add a section addressing Linux/macOS developer scenarios, even if only to acknowledge the current limitations and suggest workarounds.
