Pentaho – Error working with XUL definition Solution

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Previously I blog about Pentaho and succesfully run it in my ubuntu 8.04 box. After a while, I upgrade my pc to ubuntu 8.10 and my pentaho is not working properly. I got below error while trying to create a new database connection.

PentahoError

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.

Yoga Haram.

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

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 with ETL Tool

Friday, November 21st, 2008

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. :)

The moment you are in TENSION

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

The moment you are in TENSION

You will lose your ATTENTION

Then you are in total CONFUSION

This may spoil your personal RELATIONS

Intimately, you won’t get COOPERATION

And get things into COMPLICATION

Then you may raise CAUTION

And you have to take MEDICATION

Why not try understanding the SITUATION

And try to think about the SOLUTION

Many problems will be solved by DISCUSSION

Which will work out better in your PROFESSION

Don’t think this is a free SUGGESTION

It is only for your PREVENTION

If you understand my INTENTION

You’ll never come again into TENSION!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!

p/s: I have to make a big decision in my career…nak ke tak nak.ok ke tak ok…
