inDesign Server service functions via SOAP from CURL

[c4kaci]

Hi,

I read the ID Server 2023 documentation about "Working with InDesign Server SOAP".
I use CURL for SOAP requests via wsdl functions.  (RunScript, BeginSession...)

It works well.

I would like to get a better control for InDesign server:
- Get job status (by SessionId)

- Abort job (by SessionId)

... etc.

Previous ID Server versions (before IDS 2019) contained LBQ feature and nice control functions.

Where can I found detailed documentation and examples about this for the current ID server versions?

Best Regards
Karoly

Hi @c4kaci,

InDesign Server no longer ships with a LBQ, one has to implement the load balancer either by self or find solutions in the market for this.

Hi Joshi,

Thank you for your quick answer.

I know that InDesign Server no longer ships with a LBQ.
ID Server 2018 was the last version with LBQ support.

Not support at all the current ID Server versions these basic functions?
(get job status, abort job)

Some of these functions that you are alluding to seem to be be provided by the now gone LBQ. InDesign Server seems to have some arguments and swithces that we can toggle on but the information around that seems to be scant. See the following discussion

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-server-adminport-and-heartbeat-how-does...

The adminport could be an argument for your purposes but no info is readily available on how to use these for monitoring it seems.
