I succeeded in going offline. You have to be on the server (I used MobaXTerm so I was failed).

You should open the catalog in "offline" mode. In OBIEE 11g the catalog is still on disk, and allows offline access (via the catalog manager): in offline mode, the security isn't enforced and you will have full access to everything, including private folders.

I couldn't open it in offline mode.

I have run it from server side (Oracle Linux) and still haven't got offline mode.
