validated, if I have access to the file instanceconfig.xml, and keep my own, with respect to analyticsRes I'm not sure what you mean transparent?

It means that once you have set up analyticsRes as a deployment on your WLS server then you can put any image into the image path in analyticsRes and then reference it directly with fmap

It isn't an IF : you have access to that file, that's how OAC works.
The thing with "analyticsRes" (which is the concept covered in https://gianniceresa.com/2016/12/deploy-custom-folder-obiee-12c-analyticsres/ ) is to deploy a folder on the OBIEE weblogic server, a folder which will be accessible via a URL like /analyticsRes/ for example. The possible problem is if the load balancer in front of OAC will forward request for that path as it isn't an OBIEE default one. (If all this make no sense and the load balancer doesn't ring any bell you maybe want to look closer to your OAC instance and you will see that there is a load balancer in front of the real OBIEE server, and you don't access the OBIEE server itself. You clearly see that where you manage the "firewall", the access rules.)
Sadly the OAC instance I have access to is .... broken for an unknown reason (I would say Oracle). So can't test if the load balancer allows the usage of /analyticsRes/ or not.

Thanks for the explanation Christian

Need to correct myself: OAC isn't using an external proxy/load balancer anymore. Now there is a proxy running on your OAC instance itself.
Based on the proxy config I saw, if you deploy something on your OAC weblogic ("analyticsRes" for example) it will be part of the forward as it's really a high level forward of anything coming in on port 443 to 9704.
So you have the 2 ways of hosting your images @Adolfo Gorjon: store them externally and configure CSP, deploy "analyticsRes" and host them on your OAC instance directly.

hello Gianni I found a link with information of something similar of what you comment (https://gianniceresa.com/2017/02/obiee-12c-custom-style-using-shared-folder/), but what I want to do with the image is this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzrIwtoGJJs
I already read the documentation:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/analytics-cloud/acabi/managing-map-information-analyses.html#GUID-F5C83299-9020-4B58-B011-19C239E4A194
but I can not find where to lodge an image inside OAC or use a URL to do what is shown in the video.0 -
So you are now back at your previous thread.
You asked how to display a picture hosted somewhere else (google or whatever) inside an OBIEE page, you got an answer.
You asked how to store and display images hosted on your OAC server, you got an answer.
You got all the answers to do just what you want to do, you have everything with even alternatives. Now you need to pick a direction and start trying it.

So you want to create an image prompt. Cool. So what's your issue? (Apart fro the fact that you're following a godawfully bad youtube vdeo)

Ok, but now I get to the point of moving the image to the path where Joel indicated me, choose the point of creating a folder and hosting the image there, now I want to move it to that folder and it tells me: denied permissions, I attach a image

Sorry but, did you read the link which has been posted in the other thread and this one on how to deploy a folder in Weblogic? If you did you can't possibly try to enter https://.../analytics/bi/domain/fmw/user_projects/domains/bi in your browser and hope to see something. Weblogic is an application server, it isn't just exposing a folder as such to your browser, it's slightly more complex (luckily or OBIEE couldn't exist). You maybe want to read again the blog post, or the relative Oracle documentation which cover the same topic.
For your "permission denied", I'm not on your server. In general if you were allowed to create a file, you are also allowed to delete it. So look at the permissions on that file and look who is the owner and adopt the appropriate steps to remove that file.
