org.pentaho.ui.xul.XulException:java.lang.NullPointer Exception
Solution for this error is pretty much easy but it take me a while to figure it out.

Finally, fatwa about yoga is out.read it here.
Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan hari ini mengharamkan umat Islam daripada melakukan senaman yoga secara sistematik kerana boleh memesongkan akidah.
Pengerusinya, Prof Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin, berkata senaman yoga yang sistematik mengandungi tiga perkara iaitu amalan fizikal, unsur keagamaan, mentera dan pemujaan yang jelas bertentangan dengan syariat Islam.
It seems that I still can practise my version of yoga. Well,It’s because mine is just a form of exercise and only involve the physical part. 
Correct me If my understanding is wrong.
Till then..happy weekend.

Data migration is the process of importing legacy data to a new system. It is a routine part of IT operations in today’s business environment.
Common Data Migration Scenarios :
* Mergers and acquisitions
* Legacy system modernization
* Enterprise application consolidation, implementation, or upgrade, such as an SAP ERP or CRM implementation
* Master data management implementation
* Business process outsourcing
Here I show you how ETL tool can help to speed up the data migration process using Advantage Data Transformer as my tool. You can’t find much information about this product in fact,I don’t know who on earth is using this product beside me. Although it is not popular compared to DataStage or Informatica but it help me a lot. It just enought.
Most of the thing is drag and drop.easy right.
