That is a major task, you can start by reading upgrade and other guides here https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_ANALYTICS/4.3corr/en-US

As well as this pattern book https://www.sap.com/documents/2017/03/86fbcd5e-b17c-0010-82c7-eda71af511fa.html

Please refer my comment on the similar question https://answers.sap.com/answers/13552780/view.html

Here is the update guide for your scenario: https://help.sap.com/viewer/8d0062ba4bed49c38af5f549693f85d6/4.3.2/en-US/ecdcfb1a6fdb101497906a7cb0e...

    And another good news is from BI 4.2 SP06 onwards all the installers are ONE Installers, refer 2671301 - What is the ONE Installer and where can I find it ?. With this feature in place you can move to your desired patch level of any SP or minor release in one step, you do not need to install base SP and minor update first and then perform the patch update.

    And I believe you will be doing a parallel installation of BI 4.3 system on new hardware and planning to migrate your content from your existing landscape, if so, then refer https://help.sap.com/viewer/9029a149a3314dadb8418a2b4ada9bb8/4.3.2/en-US/f452516110c84e4bbe79fff836a...
