Checking the DWS Version

The cluster version of DWS displayed on the management console is in the format of x.y.z.p, which is explained in Figure 1.

Generally, new functions and features of DWS are released based on the release number. For example, 8.1.3 and 8.2.0 are iteration versions. New features are added to new versions. For details about the version lifecycle, see Version Lifecycle.

After each iteration version is released, a patch is released to fix problems, for example, patch 8.1.3.322. A patch only fixes problems and does not add new functions or features.
