Steve,

We use Core Data for a multi-user, multi-machine point-of-sale
system in a bicycle shop.  When someone sells a bike on one
machine the other machines don't immediately see it.

How is this configured ? Through distributed notifications replicating changes, or a network file system mount ? If the later, is it AFP ? If not, that's a problem.

I've 'enhanced' refreshObject to, among other things, temporarily ignore the staleness interval:

Uhm, okay. The merge policy only affects saving. It's for conflict resolution. Refreshing either never merges (like rollback) or always merges (like byPropertyObjectTrump) depending on the flag parameter.

My refresh process:

1.  re-fetch all the relevant managedObjects (arrayController fetch)
2.  call the above refreshObject on all of today's sales, every
bike-mold (a sort of bike template) and every bike

That should be enough on its own. In step 1, do you fetch the related objects as well ?

I get optimistic locking errors on the first try at the above
process but not on subsequent tries.  I thought doing
refreshObject would avoid optimistic locking errors but it
appears not which experiments with detectConflictsForObject confirm.

We only generate optimistic locking errors on save, so I'm not sure what this means.

- Ben
