Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in the 'Install Vertica ODBC driver for the version 2.0' section, where only Windows installation steps and screenshots are provided. There are no instructions or examples for installing the Vertica ODBC driver on Linux or macOS, despite the self-hosted integration runtime being commonly deployed on Linux servers. The documentation also references Windows-specific tools (e.g., ODBC Data Source Administrator) and uses Windows-centric language and screenshots throughout the installation process.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions and screenshots for installing the Vertica ODBC driver on Linux (and optionally macOS), including command-line installation steps (e.g., using rpm, deb, or tar.gz packages).
- Mention and demonstrate how to verify ODBC driver installation on Linux (e.g., using isql or odbcinst commands) alongside the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator.
- Clearly state that the self-hosted integration runtime can run on both Windows and Linux, and provide OS-appropriate guidance for each.
- Wherever examples or screenshots are given, provide both Windows and Linux versions, or at least link to official Vertica/Linux installation documentation.
- Avoid language that assumes a Windows environment by default; instead, present instructions for both platforms or clarify when steps are OS-specific.
