 ==== Database Upgrades ====
-Database upgrades are done using the .NET EntityFrameworkCore migrations. When a new migration is made available typically in the source code you'll need to apply the migration. This can be done in a number of ways depending on preference and environment (development vs production). One way is to open the Package Manager Console within Visual Studio and run something like the following.
+Database upgrades are done using the .NET EntityFrameworkCore migrations. When a new migration is made available typically in the source code you'll need to apply the migration. In production this will usually happen automatically when accessing the application after the successful upgrade. In development, I usually enable (i.e. uncomment) the commented lines below in the file **opensis.data/Models/CRMContextMySQL.cs** and configure it to run the upgrade on the desired tenant (i.e. database).
-<code>
-PM> Update-Database -Project opensis.data -Context CRMContextMySQL
-Build started...
-Build succeeded.

-Done.

 ==== Building and Running Backend ====

 The deployment can be done in a number of ways. You can use the deployment tools in both the backend and frontend to package the files for the production server. Below explains how.
-==== Deploying the Backend ====
+==== Packaging the Backend ====
 Simply use the Visual Studio's publish feature. There is a publish "profile" in there that can be use as example. Two  apps need to be deployed on the backend.

 This should package all the frontend files in ''Pacific-SIS/UI/dist/vex/''
+==== Deploying to Production Server ====
+Is a matter of preference. You could simply copy the files produced in the two previous steps and configure the Apache Server to server them. The database will need to also be deployed. One of the maintainers of the system uses Ansible to automate all of these final deployment tasks.
