How to get decrypted transaction data in quorum?

Question

On Quorum_Node1 I am sending a transaction with privateFor: parameter as follows:

eth.sendTransaction({from: eth.accounts[0], to: "0xca84356...9a3d0ccf92b8e", 
data: web3.toHex('sample message for node 2'),privateFor:
['QfeDAys9MPDs2XHExtc84jKGHxZg/aj52DTh0vtA3Xc=']})

Where QfeDAys9MPDs2XHExtc84jKGHxZg/aj52DTh0vtA3Xc= is a public key of Transaction Manager on Quorum Node2

When I try to get the transaction data on Quorum Node2 via:

eth.getTransaction("0x26a550c39b816...97c6f6eb35c3953e53b7")

I am getting an encrypted payload. Ideally, I should receive hex representation of the data sent in the original transaction.

Is this possible in Quorum or it works just with contracts?

Answer 1

so as pointed out in comments, when you read the transaction on any node, you receive the encrypted hash of the transaction and not the actual payload. To access the payload, you would run this api on node 2.
