Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-only tools (Host Integration Server Designer, which requires .NET Framework 4.8), and does not mention or provide Linux/macOS alternatives or examples. All setup instructions and prerequisites assume a Windows environment, with no guidance for non-Windows users. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may wish to use the IBM i connector with Azure Logic Apps.
Recommendations
- Clearly state platform requirements for HIS Designer and .NET Framework, and highlight that these are Windows-only.
- Provide guidance or alternatives for Linux/macOS users, such as remote access to a Windows VM, containerized solutions, or any available cross-platform tools.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform method for generating HIDX files, or provide a web-based tool.
- Include explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users outlining any limitations and possible workarounds.
- Consider listing platform requirements at the top of the prerequisites section.
