There isn't any danger in running this job after M&F2.7 has been released.
It will update if the synoptic item exists, or insert if it doesn't.  The
only issue to keep in mind is the additional load it may add to the
production server.

For anyone who is doing this and would like to show a "seamless" (more like
a non-confusing) upgrade, I would recommend this kind of workflow:

1) Release M&F 2.7 with msgcntr.synoptic.myworkspace.disabledMessage=true
2) Run Quartz Job to pre-populate synoptic info
3) Turn msgcntr.synoptic.myworkspace.disabledMessage=false  (or just remove
the property)


Thanks,
Bryan
