First step is to check if installed OS and your DB  are compatible with BODS.

2. Upgrade/configure all the repositories after taking sufficient backups.
3. Modify  the datastore connections (applicable only if new database server has been installed).
4. Add job servers.
5. Add repositories to the Management Console.
6. Add Users
7. Create ODBC connections (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
8. Create folder structure (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
9. Sybase Client installation and configuration (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
10. Oracle Client installation and configuration (applicable only if new OS has been installed).
