Gemini for Oracle – FAQ

Gemini is a software application that empowers your shop floor and warehouse workers to enter data and complete transactions in Oracle using handheld RF and barcode scanners instead of a keyboard. The benefits: fewer errors, faster input, and less data duplication.

Before downloading Gemini, we recommend you consult your Oracle database administrator (DBA) to verify that you have:

• Oracle® database version 8.0 or later, and that your implementation is JDBC-compliant
• Oracle E-Business Suite (also known as Oracle Applications) version 11.5.10
• You have at least 100MB of free disk space. Additional space may be required to complete the installation.

You will be downloading a single 82MB executable (.exe) file. This free trial version of Gemini includes a subset of the complete suite of functionality in the fully-licensed version.

The Trial Version does not include the following specialized Gemini modules: Gemini for OPM, Gemini Advanced Shipping, Gemini Inventory LPN, and Gemini Advanced Inventory. In addition, the Full Version provides additional features, such as the ability to print labels, and to prompt for additional information using descriptive flexfields (DFFs), project and task, and additional languages. The Full Version also includes additional transactions, including Project Issue and Project Receipt, Quality, System Administration, and Fixed Assets.

Not quite. To complete the installation, you will need two more small files. One of the files is a software license key, the other is a script for your DBA to run. These will be sent to the email address you provided during registration within 24 hours. Detailed instructions are included.

First, before downloading Gemini, your DBA should verify that you are running a JDBC-compliant implementation of Oracle database version 8.0 or later, and that you’re running Oracle E-Business Suite (Oracle Applications) version 11.5.

Then, when you receive the email from TAKE Supply Chain with the two files necessary to complete your installation (see Can I install Gemini immediately after I download it?), you will need to email one of these (a script) to your DBA and ask him or her to run the script in a test or development database instance used with Oracle applications. Your DBA should send you a file named DBConnections.txt when the database setup is complete. You may then install Gemini.

To install Gemini, simply double-click the icon labeled GeminiFreeTrial in whatever directory (or on your desktop) you saved the file to. The installer application uses a wizard-like interface to walk you through the configuration process.

The free trial version allows access by two users.

Absolutely. Shortly after you download Gemini, a Sales Executive will contact you to make sure you were able to install it, answer all your questions, and work with you to resolve any outstanding issues. You will also have access to a wealth of documentation, including guides for quickly getting started, configuring Gemini, configuring scanners, and much more. If you need more assistance, you may always contact TAKE Supply Chain Support at any time by email at support@takesupplychain.com. To purchase the full version of Gemini at the end of your trial, contact your Sales Executive or email sales@takesupplychain.com.
