Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-only tooling (HIS Designer for Logic Apps, Visual Studio, .NET Framework 4.8) for generating required metadata (HIDX files). There are no Linux/macOS alternatives or instructions, and all example screenshots and setup steps assume a Windows environment. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who cannot natively use these tools.
Recommendations
- Provide guidance or tooling for generating HIDX files on Linux/macOS, such as a cross-platform CLI, web-based tool, or Docker image.
- Clarify whether HIDX files can be manually authored or converted from COBOL copybooks using open-source or platform-agnostic tools.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and offer workarounds for non-Windows users (e.g., using a Windows VM, Azure-hosted VM, or container).
- Include example workflows and screenshots using Linux/macOS environments where possible.
- List prerequisites for both Windows and non-Windows platforms, and provide parity in setup instructions.
