Install HRCS 9.0 R5 with Linux Issue: upgrade HRCS 9.0 from PT8.52 to PT8.53

Question

Folks,
Hello. I have been installing HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 with PeopleTools8.53. Server machine is Oracle Linux 5.10 and client machine is Windows XP.  My internet architecture is WebLogic11g/Tuxedo11g/OracleDatabase 11gR1. Peopletools 8.53 runs correctly in browser.
In Oracle Linux 5.10 Database Server machine, I run the scripts "createdb10.sql, utlspace.sql, hrcddl.sql, dbowner.sql, psroles.sql, psadmin.sql and connect.sql" one by one. Then I use Data Mover to load data from Windows XP into Oracle Linux 5.10 DB instance HRCS90. The Data Mover script hrcs90ora.dms completes successfully in Windows XP. Configuration Manager is set up correctly.  But when I login into Application Designer, I cannot login and get the message as below:
"Security Table Manager (Get): The database is at release 8.52.  The PeopleTools being run require databases at release 8.53."
I have been following the document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37306_02/psft/acrobat/PeopleTools-8.53-Upgrade_02-2013.pdf  to upgrade HCM and Human Resources 9.0 Revision 5 Database Instance HRCS90 in Oracle Database Server with Linux. I have been following chapter 4 task by task to do. Actually, I have run 4 scripts into HRCS90 as below:
Task 4-3-5: run rel853.sql at SQL> in Linux.
Task 4-3-6: run grant.sql at SQL> in Linux.
Task 4-5-3: run ddlora.dms in Windows XP Data Mover into HRCS90.
Task 4-6: run msgtlsupg.dms in Windows XP Data Mover into HRCS90.
Then need to run Task 4-7 to copy project ppltls84cur Project in Application Designer. When login into Application Designer with Database HRCS90 and Username PSADMIN, I get the same error message as below:
"The database is at release 8.52. The PeopleTools being run require Database at release 8.53."
Application Designer is supposed to login by Task 4-7 to copy projects but it cannot. I have tried to fing out what's wrong as below:
In task 4-1-3: I cannot run script dbtsfix.sqr in Linux and Windows XP.
In task 4-1-9: script ptupgibdel.sql does not have the string "End of PT8.53". There is no script ptupgibdel853.sql to run.
In task 4-3-6: when run script grant.sql, table PSSTATUS and PSACCESSPRFL don't exist. There is only PSOPRDEFN table.
I continue to do task by task in chapter 4 and chapter 5, but Application Designer still cannot login and all of Application Engine Programs cannot run. Windows XP cannot run SQR programs. Tuxedo Application Server cannot boot in Linux. Both Application Designer and Tuxedo Application Server gets the same error message: "The database is at release 8.52. The PeopleTools being run require Database at release 8.53."
My questions are:
First, does Oracle Database HRCS90 has table PSOPRDEFN only without table PSSTATUS and PSACCESSPRFL ?
Second, what's the error by task 4-7 when Application Designer still cannot login ?
Third, why Application Designer still cannot login and get the same error message after finish doing chapter 4 and chapter 5 ? How to solve the issue ?
Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you are missing, but it looks like you missed a script which could cause problems.  You need to look through your logs for errors. Are you running rel853 as the AccessID user?  I don't know how you would trash PSSTATUS in this process.
You don't mention running this.
Task 4-3-2:  Creating Tablespaces
This step runs the PTDDLUPG script, which builds new tablespaces as part of the upgrade to the new PeopleSoft release.
It creates tablespace PSIMAGE2, which doesn't exist in the datamover load you did.  Oracle moves and puts around 208 tables here when you run rel853 from what I see.
The first line of rel853 is
UPDATE PSSTATUS SET TOOLSREL='8.53',
                  LASTREFRESHDTTM = SYSDATE
This is what changes the tools release, sometimes people just run this one update to gain quick and dirty access to a different version.
I pulled this download and ran through it myself without incident doing all the steps you say, adding in 4-3-2 which you seemed to have skipped.  I built a system database.
My hcengs.log shows
Importing  PSSTATUS
Creating Table  PSSTATUS
Import  PSSTATUS  1
Building required indexes for PSSTATUS
Updating statistics for PSSTATUS
Records remaining: 7686
After import, PSSTATUS is
SQL> select toolsrel from sysadm.psstatus;
TOOLSREL
8.52
After running rel853n it's now
SQL> COMMIT
  2  ;
Commit complete.
SQL> SPOOL OFF
SQL> select toolsrel from sysadm.psstatus;
TOOLSREL
8.53
I ran the other 3 quick scripts.  Not sure if it was necessary, but I reset the passwords and re-encrypted them with the new 8.53 datamover for the new salted encryption and fired up app designer.  It works.  By the way, you should probably run rel853n, it utilizes "newer" (for PeopleSoft that is) data-types than just rel853.sql that were delivered with the 9.0 application line.  Since this is a new 9.0 based app build it should be used.
