Workflow Activity Definition: Timer
When the Timer activity’s run-during-upgrade setting is unset or set to “property,” the system reads this property; its value controls whether timers run during an upgrade, and the default is false. If the activity setting has another value, that setting takes precedence: “always” enables running during upgrades, and other values disable it.
