  * RunBulkConverter tool                                        *
  *                                                              *

  * 2. Follow first 2 steps on Linux box.                        *
  * 3. The tool will not open and the system will just sit on    *
  * idle status.                                                 *
  *                                                              *
  * Customer need to use any GUI mechanism in Linux to open the  *
  * tool because RunBulkConverter.sh is GUI Application.         *
