I’m bit confused about how PLSQL method works for inbound messages with binary data (eg: incoming PDF)
My interpretation of the documentation is that the IFS framework will encode input binary file to base64, placed in the BIN_DATA attribute of framework generated XML; thus the input of the PLSQL method is an XML.
Both examples in the documentation were also written considering that the input is a XML
However, my experience was that input clob for the PL SQL method is actual file data instead of a XML.
Am I confused with the documentation or is is there anything I have missed?
Example Function just return the input:
Application Message with Message Response PDF
My assumption was the response would be a XML with encoded file data; instead it’s actual input file
Cheers!

It was a NOOB mistake and found the answer.
Documentation and the functionality works as it should.
I was trying to return the input ‘thinking’ I should get the framework created XML but what happens under the hood is since the return message has the BINARY_PARAMETER/BIN_DATA element, framework extracts the binary file and send as output.
For someone who’s curious, here’s how the input XML clob looks like
