What's the response from an Ajax Callback?

Eric Olson 1Jan 29 2021

I'm invoking a piece of PL/SQL via a button and a Dynamic Action of type Execute JavaScript code and apex.server.process(). The call to process() returns a Promise with done() and fail() methods. I have no problem with any of that. I just can't figure out what the response from the PL/SQL is supposed to be.
For example, if my PL/SQL source is:

begin
    raise_application_error(-20001, 'Intentional error');
end;

The actual response is "sqlerrm:ORA-20001: Intentional error" and Apex displays an error "SyntaxError: Unexpected token s in JSON at position 0". It's trying to parse the response as JSON and failing, so it's expecting some JSON response.
I assumed it would use the Success Message and Error Message in the Ajax Callback definition, but those seem to be ignored.
What am I supposed to be outputting from my PL/SQL and how does the Promise returned by process() know how to call the done or fail method?
