Additional Upgrade Steps

1 - New configuration for ssp-config.properties 

SSP-3242 adds a feature to configure the default query timeout value.  Since SSP uses hibernate the default timeout is per session and should be set a bit longer than the longest task, normally the person sync.  The value is represented in seconds and defines how long the JDBC driver will allow a database query to last. Currently, if a database query doesn't finish or deadlocks with other resources the connection stays in use and cannot be released until closed by the db or the db server is restarted.  Since SSP uses hibernate keep in mind that this timeout is per session and *should* be set a bit longer than the average of the longest running task (usually the nightly person sync or person directory refresh but in some case can be map plan status calculation).  The entry is defined below with a default value

db_conns_default_query_timeout=10800
