NSMergeConflict

An encapsulation of conflicts that occur during an attempt to save changes in a managed object context.

Declaration

class NSMergeConflict

Overview

A conflict can occur in two situations:

  • Between the managed object context and its in-memory cached state at the persistent store coordinator layer.

  • Between the cached state at the persistent store coordinator layer and the external store (file, database, and so forth). In this case, the merge conflict has a cached snapshot and a persisted snapshot. The source object is also provided as a convenience, but it is not directly involved in the conflict.

Snapshot dictionaries include values for all attributes and to-one relationships, but not to-many relationships. Relationship values are NSManagedObjectID references. To-many relationships must be pulled from the persistent store as needed.
