What’s different between the Desktop and Server versions

To write a line to the console, use app.consoleout or consoleerr (for errors) method instead of $.writeln:

if (app.name == "Adobe InDesign") {
	$.writeln("gradientFillAngle = " + rec.gradientFillAngle);
}
else {
	app.consoleout("gradientFillAngle = " + rec.gradientFillAngle);
}

exportFile() method has withGrids the 4-th parameter-- If true, exports the grids -- and has no showingOptions (3-rd parameter in the desktop version).

 

Features missing in Server

You can find out what is different by comparing two scripting references: for Desktop and Server.
