Fix post-install DB opatch issues #125
Conversation
When testing a 12.2 RAC install, which has an extra HAS patch, I ran into two issues with the opatch logic:
1. Unlike the GI install, the DB install is out of place, and runInstaller actually clobbers existing content in the ORACLE_HOME, including the OPatch executable. Therefore we need to update OPatch _after_ the install has compelted, but before invoking it to apply one-off patches
2. The opatch output display runs a loop over the appy_oneoff results, in order to handle multiple patches if necessary. To display the output for the given patch, we need to print {{ item.xxx }} objects instead of the static {{ apply_oneoff }} ones.

The changes to this task rac-db-install | opatch output may be backed out, as a recent PR for EL8.5 fixed it.

Yup, I will merge into current HEAD once approved.

IIUC, the task block rac-db-install | Update DB OPatch has been moved in this PR after the task rac-db-install | Set installer command.
Upon eyeballing the pre & post blocks, it seems the content is same. Does the new ordering have any functionality effect?

Indeed the order does matter.
Unlike the GI install, the DB install is out of place, and runInstaller actually clobbers existing content in the ORACLE_HOME, including the OPatch executable. Therefore we need to update OPatch after the install has completed, but before invoking it to apply one-off patches
