*What is happening?* Starting at 6:00AM Wednesday morning we will be applying schema updates to the NM database. These changes should be non-disruptive and not cause any down time. *How long will it take?* We expect the service to take about 10 to 15 minutes. *Why is this work necessary?* Changes to NM database schema are required for future enhancements to NM. *What happens if the work is not successful? * We will back out to snapshots of the database taken prior to application of the changes.
