No and unfortunately for you Oracle is not open source and has a bad
track record taking code submissions which is probably why nobody
has written a proper systemd unit for it and pushed it upstream.<br>
<br>
<snip><br>
( you need to post to the original initscript along with any startup
scripts in conjuction with that init script to so the proper course
of action can be taken when migrating it to native systemd unit(s)
use something like fpaste if you intent on doing that )<br>

<br>
You would do so by creating an specific oracledb.target followed by
new oracle instance units. <br>
<br>
I'm not sure how much we should be involved with migrating that
since it's closed source and we cant be held countable if our
migration breaks your support contract hence it's probably best that
you requesting new units and targets from Oracle support directly. (
which is probably not what you want to hear but meh )<br>
