Re: SimEvents Entities

Use the same approach in the link, but set the service time using an
attribute. For all entities being preloaded into the server, set the
service time attribute to a percentage of the expected service time. For
all entities generated after the start of the simulation, set the service
time attribute to the expected duration.

Hope this helps.
