Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
⚠️
windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows tools (SQL Server Management Studio), assuming SQL Server as the on-premises source, and omitting any Linux-based alternatives or instructions. There are no examples or guidance for users running SQL Server on Linux, nor for using cross-platform tools (such as Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd). All setup and verification steps are described using Windows-centric workflows and terminology.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions and examples for users running SQL Server on Linux, such as connecting via Azure Data Studio or sqlcmd.
- Mention and provide steps for using cross-platform tools (Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd) alongside SQL Server Management Studio.
- Clarify that SQL Server can run on both Windows and Linux, and provide any necessary Linux-specific prerequisites or commands (e.g., installation, firewall, service management).
- When referencing file paths, authentication, or environment setup, include Linux equivalents or note any differences.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, highlighting any platform-specific considerations for self-hosted integration runtime installation and connectivity.

1. Drag-drop the **Copy** activity from the **Activities** toolbox, and enter **IncrementalCopyActivity** for **Name**.
1. Connect **Lookup** activities to the **Copy** activity one by one. To connect, start dragging at the **green** box attached to the **Lookup** activity and drop it on the **Copy** activity. Release the mouse button when the border color of the Copy activity changes to **blue**.

1. Select the **Copy** activity in the pipeline. Switch to the **Source** tab in the **Properties** window.
1. Select **SourceDataset** for **Source Dataset**.
1. Select **Query** for **Use Query**.
1. Enter the following SQL query for **Query**.

## Monitor the pipeline
1. Switch to the **Monitor** tab on the left. You see the pipeline run triggered by the **manual trigger**. You can use links under the **PIPELINE NAME** column to view activity details and to rerun the pipeline.
1. To see activity runs associated with the pipeline run, select the link under the **PIPELINE NAME** column. For details about the activity runs, select the **Details** link (eyeglasses icon) under the **ACTIVITY NAME** column.
1. Select **All pipeline runs** at the top to go back to the Pipeline Runs view. To refresh the view, select **Refresh**.
## Review the results
In SQL Server Management Studio, run the following queries against the target SQL database to verify that the data was copied from source tables to destination tables:
