Change log for the June 2019 CB Response 6.4.0 Server / Cluster Management Guide (changes since the most recent 6.3.x User Guide):

1. In the “Server Overview” chapter, removed information from the “Troubleshooting” section that claimed you can also check /var/log/cb/solr/debug.log for requests to the /update handler. This is an obsolete description that does not apply to any 6.x releases.
2. In the “Installing the CB Response Server” chapter, added information about substituting your own server communication certificate during initialization.
3. In the “Server Backup and Restoration” chapter,  removed a section describing an open source backup-and-restore script that does not work with this release.
4. Other minor corrections and improvements were made.
