Summary:
The documentation page discusses backing up SAP ASE (Sybase) databases on Azure VMs but implicitly assumes a Windows-centric environment in several places. For example, when referencing VM creation, it links specifically to the Windows VM creation guide and does not mention or link to Linux VM equivalents. There are no explicit examples or instructions tailored for Linux-based ASE deployments, despite Linux being a common platform for SAP ASE. There is also no mention of Linux-specific tools, commands, or considerations, and no PowerShell or Windows-specific commands are shown, but the omission of Linux content is notable.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions and links for both Windows and Linux VM creation and management, especially when referencing Azure VM documentation.
- Explicitly mention supported operating systems for SAP ASE on Azure VMs, and clarify any differences in backup procedures or prerequisites between Windows and Linux.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as using Bash or Linux shell commands for running the preregistration script, and note any OS-specific requirements (e.g., permissions, package dependencies).
- When referencing Azure documentation, provide both Windows and Linux links where relevant (e.g., quick-create guides for VMs).
- If the solution is OS-agnostic, state this clearly to reassure Linux users that the instructions apply equally to their environment.
