Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-only tools (Host Integration Server Designer, which requires .NET Framework 4.8), omitting any mention of Linux/macOS-compatible alternatives or instructions. All setup and prerequisite steps assume a Windows environment, and no Linux or cross-platform guidance is provided for generating the required HIDX metadata files. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who cannot natively run the required tooling.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform requirements for HIS Designer and .NET Framework, and clarify that these are Windows-only.
- Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using a Windows VM, Docker container, or remote desktop to access the HIS Designer.
- Investigate and document any cross-platform alternatives for generating HIDX files, or provide a roadmap for such tooling.
- Add a section addressing Linux/macOS users, outlining workarounds or future plans for parity.
- Consider providing sample HIDX files for testing, so users on non-Windows platforms can follow along with later steps.
