Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively referencing the WAImportExport tool, which is only available for 64-bit Windows operating systems. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or instructions provided. The documentation does not mention any Linux-compatible tools or workflows, nor does it offer guidance for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state the lack of Linux support early in the documentation and provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using a Windows VM or container).
- Develop and document a cross-platform or Linux-compatible tool for data preparation and import/export jobs.
- If possible, provide PowerShell and Bash (or other Linux shell) command examples side by side.
- Mention any workarounds or third-party solutions for Linux users, if available.
- Ensure parity in documentation by including Linux-specific instructions, troubleshooting, and requirements.
