There is an easy way to do the same using upgrade assistance wizard ua.bat file from your OBIEE 11g environment.
Go through below mentioned blog link under section "Upgrading the Oracle BI Repository and Catalog"
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bi11115/upgrade/upgrade_to_11g.htm
You can only go for upgrade RPD option if you don't have catalog for upgrade.

Salam Syed,
Thanks for your reply.
if I go for .rpd upgrade is there any impact on existing RPD and what do you meant for
"You can only go for upgrade RPD option if you don't have catalog for upgrade."

Wa alaykumu as-salam,
It would not update or edit your current 11g deployed RPD but it would upgrade 10 g RDP to 11g RPD and deploy upgraded RPD in your environment ,but that doesn't mean last copy of your RPD will be deleted it will still be at same location with same name as it is right now.
But even if you have your docubts then take a backup of your OBIEE 11g RPD from following location
<MIDDLE WARE HOME>\instances\<INSTANCE NAME>\bifoundation\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\repository
If you have more than one RPD file in above location then you can find your current deployed repository(RPD) file name within NQSConfig.INI file located at
<MIDDLE WARE HOME>\instances\<INSTANCE NAME>\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1\
Name of the RPD is mentioned under section [REPOSITORY] within parameter Star
By following statement "You can only go for upgrade RPD option if you don't have catalog for upgrade.", I mean to say that upgrade assistance tool could be used to upgrade 10g RPD and Catalog both to 11g but if you want you can do only RPD upgrade.
Just go through below blog which was already shared, it has screenshot and everything for all the steps.

Is "wadmin" the login you used in 10g to edit the RPD? That's what it complains about...

You need to give 10g RPD username and password, 'wadmin' pretty much stands for 'weblogic admin' which means its an OBIEE 11g user, make use of OBIEE 10g user and password use to access RPD.
From screenshot I can also see that you are trying to upgrade catalog, do you want to upgrade 10g catalog to 11g? because you din't mention the same in your initial requirement, just asking.

salam,
i have put catalog files in
\MaybankBI\bi11g\catalog\maybank\root\shared\analytics.catalog but got message catalog directory is not valid

A .catalog FILE is not a DIRECTORY.
You point to a DIRECTORY and not a .catalog archive FILE.

You maybe want to stop for a while and redefine what your target is and how you are going to achieve it.
It started by a RPD upgrade and end up with an archived catalog supposed to act as a folder.
There are 2 ways of doing things:
- A: by clearly identify your target and define how you are going to get there and execute things as planned
- B: by running commands one after the other hoping that at some point it will work
You started with A but ended up doing B apparently.
If you want more inputs you maybe want to provide the full context (first time upgrade, incremental upgrade, any other things you are trying to do).
