1)The basic step of datawarehousing starts with datamodelling. i.e creation dimensions and facts.

2)datawarehouse starts with collection of data from source systems such as OLTP,CRM,ERPs etc

3)Cleansing and transformation process is done with ETL(Extraction Transformation Loading) tool.

4)by the end of ETL process target databases(dimensions,facts) are ready with data which accomplishes the business rules.

5)Now finally with the use of Reporting tools(OLAP) we can get the information which is used for decision support.

architecture is like
1. Source Systems: Like Mainframe,Oracle,People soft,DB2.
2. Landing tables: These are tables act like source. Used
for easy to access, for backup purpose, as reusable for
other mappings.
3. Staging tables: From landing tables we extract the data
into staging tables after all validations done on the data.
4. Dimension/Facts: These are the tables those are used for
analysis and make decisions by analyzing the data.
5. Aggregation tables: These tables have summarized data
useful for managers who wants to view monthly wise sales,
year wise sales etc. 
6. Reporting layer: 4 and 5 phases are useful for reporting
developers to generate reports. I hope this answer helps you.
