If you are following the offiical AEM Docs here- -

Upgrading to AEM 6.3

And something breaks - this is an issue for customer support. You need to report this so the ENG team can fix it. It should be working as per the AEM product docs.

If you have an access to CRXDe -> package manager try to install SP3: AEM 6.3.3.0 Release Notes

In a case when a package manager is not reachable stop AEM, create .../crx-quickstart/install folder, place SP3 zip into it and start AEM. SP3 will be installed while AEM is starting up.

installing SP3 solves the issue.
