******************************************************************************
 As the post installation things are concerned, this is normal like the others NW installations. This includes the following routine points…

  1. Check whether the installation is correct… Use transaction SICK.
  2. Upgrade of kernel including dbtools.
  3. Create transport landscape.
  4. Upgrade of SPAM/SAINT
  5. Application of support packages..
  6. Run transaction SGEN.
  7. Finally create a new client for development and copy cline 000 content to that. Transaction SCCL

Besides the above routine steps you need to do a little more. that is first you need to make the development client useful i.e. you need to designate your development client as Unique BW client.

How to check that? Login in the client you have created for development, let say it is 101 and execute the transaction code RSA1. Immediately you will be provided with a reply that you can logon only in client 000.

 SAP BI installtion - OUI - Define Unique client 1
 So this is the first step need to pay attention i.e. we need to define Unique client in BW. How to do that? Use transaction code SE16, open the table RSADMINA and then finally you need to change the field value of the field BWMANDT. This should be the intended client no instead of 000. Save and exit from transaction SE16. Finally execute transaction RSA1 and it will show Data Warehousing Workbench. Here we need to connect the source R/3 system. Check the following screenshot for the reference.
 SAP BI installtion - OUI - Define Unique client 2
 At this stage you can simply handover the system to your BW colleague and ask him to use. But I personally feel that still there are some thing pending from the Basis to do.
