In ACMS V4.4B this behavior was changed so that G           the free server is placed at the end of the free server pool. J           This means that the server pool will cycle through all availableJ           servers as tasks use and free the servers. See the Release NotesC           for more complete information on this change in behavior.   J           ACMS Version 4.4B also contains bug fixes. See the Release NotesE           for complete details.
