Hi Zhong Liu,

This depends to your service settings that you are trying to connect, you should check this in their documentation.

If you needed a custom setting for your service, then the Generic service is the way for you, more information you can find here:

Hi IIIya,
I defined a rest service, and add a datasource on the page like this:

then I put a piece of js code on 'click' event of a button like this:

when I test the app by launch and click the button, the rest service can be called and run successfully, the request parameter can be passed to the rest service.

However, when I define a rest service which is used to upload an image file, the server need a multipart-form data like this:

I don't know how to pass this kind of data to service when calling service_name.execute(); could you please give me your suggestion, thank you!
