I am not able to release a publication "No version selected for object" ?

Question

Hi, 
 I am able to pass the workflow and publish the content. But when the status is "Release candidate" and when trigger the release the publication is not able to move to the release state. 
 I am getting the following error that my map file does not have a version

Regards, 
 Ram

Use Publication Manager client tool, which will autocomplete your publication. You can read this, as it assigns a version to every visible/used content object. Saving that publication could already be enough. 
 
Still within Publication Manager, you can Release or even explicitly Freeze which in turn might return you an actionable report.

You cannot do this in the CM Web Client. You can do it Publication Manager, which in turn uses the web services API. 
 
I assume you do this for test purposes. The web client is also missing version-selectioning interfaces to fill up that baseline. So if you consider a Release workflow action, then I wonder what you are actually releasing if the baseline is _empty_.

Historically we only had publishing based on publication versions, together with baseline handling and freezing. Later on the language-level publicationoutputs was added with workflow. 
 
 When a publicationoutput results in a Release Candidate it means that the PublishService component published the requested content, applied variables and conditions, and then calculated if there are any broken links or hyperlinks. In other words PublishService verifies a subset of the baseline using the requested language and context. 
 When requesting a Release of the publicationoutput, you in essence ask for execution of a Baseline Freeze operation. A baseline freeze will verify the superset of selected versions in the baseline on broken links and hyperlinks. In other words any link should land, this to protect other publications that would reuse this frozen/locked baseline to not have broken links.
