Is there any difference? I have never noticied this so am curious why you metioned this explicitly. What I generally do is launch IDS from the command prompt using the following command

indesignserver -port 123456

This will launch IDS to service SOAP requests at port 123456. Then you will see a new listing in the ESTK dropdown for this instance to which you can connect. If you still face issues then you could run a script by using the sampleclient tool that would have a $.writeln statement which would trigger a connection with ESTK. Hope this helps

hi @Manan Joshi Thanks For reply!

Actually When i run indesign server by using same step you mentioned ,Extendscript shows me serveral Instance in dropdown ,one of them is Adobe Indesing Server 2023 also there is one more instance which is Indesing server (configuration 12345). Now when i select Indesign server (configuration 12345) then it work properly but when i select Adobe Indesign Server 2023 then it can't able to connect please check the image 

Thanks in advance !

The question still remains why do you want to connect to that particular option? In the past I have seen that trying to launch/connect to an application using ESTK directly does result in it hanging and not connecting either. However, if you maunally launch the application and then try to connect to it, more often then not the connection is made. So unless you have any specific reason to connect to "Adobe Indesign Server 2023" instead of your self launched instance, there is no point spending time in trying to make sense of a failing use case for tool that is already out of support.

Hi manan, just for Curiosity or know more about the functionality of Indesing Server 2023 i want to know that whether it can possible to run the indsign server.exe file because i am trying still it not work the reason is that i want to see the Object model of indesing server which is possible to when indesign server.exe file is running.

When i running indesing server through indesing server.com in which i mentioned -port 12345 then i can't able to view the object model of indesing server through ESTK

[Manan Joshi]

I am not sure why ESTK is not showing the Object model even after connection is made. You can have a look at the object model using the link below, it's a bit outdated but you should be fine mostly. I would not spend too much time trying to fix ESTK but would use the link I gave and if you find something missing you can check it using the debugger.
