Connecting to APD from external process to execute skill code

SV202603065248

Im looking for a way to connect to an existing/active APD session from an external process and executing skill within that APD session. The idea is to create this communication link between our custom workflow tool and APD to streamline execution. The forums point to using MPS (message passing system) but there isn't much documentation on this. Could you pls point me in the right direction.. Im looking for documentation or code samples.

    MPS seems like an interesting approach for this. Has anyone tried using it to communicate with an already-running APD session and execute SKILL code from an external Python or C++ application? horror games

    I'm particularly interested in how the connection is established and whether there's a way to retrieve the execution results or errors from APD. Any practical examples or pointers to the relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
