| Versions | R81.20, R81.10 (EOS), R81 (EOS) |

## Symptoms

- * CPView \> `Software-blades` tab \> `Overview` page \> the row `Application Control` \> the column `Last update Number` shows the database version in the format "`DDMMYY_n`" (where "`n`" is a digit).

  Example for the update from 09 July 2022:

  ```
  
  CPVIEW.Software-blades.Overview
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Overview SysInfo Network CPU I/O Software-blades Hardware-Health Management Advanced
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Overview VPN SSL-Inspection IDA DLP Threat-Prevention Threat-Emulation Advanced ...
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  | Updates Information:
  |
  |                     Blade status   Last update Number  Update Time
  | Application Control enabled        090722_1            09Jul2022 17:42:50
  | Anti-Virus          disabled       N/A                 N/A
  | Anti-Bot            disabled       N/A                 N/A
  | IPS                 disabled       N/A                 N/A
  ```

* The output of the "`cpstat appi -f update_status`" command shows the "`DB Version`" value in the format "`DDMMYYnn`" (where "`nn`" are two digits).

  Example for the update from 09 July 2022:

  ```
  
  [Expert@MyGw:0]# cpstat appi -f update_status
  
  Update status:           up-to-date
  Update description:      Gateway is up to date. Database version: 09072201.
  Next update description: The next update will be run as scheduled.
  DB version:              09072201
  
  [Expert@MyGw:0]#
  ```

## Cause

It is the same information, just displayed in a different format.

The CPView tool reads the Application Control Database Version value from the **$FWDIR/appi/update/Version** file.

The "`cpstat appi -f update_status`" command reads the Application Control Database Version value from the **$FWDIR/appi/update/appi_status.C** file.
