Core Data Force Custom Mapping Model/Policy instead of Lightweight Migration

Question

I've got about 4 different versions of my data model now, and every one except the last one has been just a minor change using automatic lightweight migration. For this latest model, I need to do a bit of additional work during the migration, so I created a custom mapping model and a migration policy subclass with some actions in the createDestinations and createRelationships. Problem is, my mapping model/custom policy isn't being called, and it seems that Core Data is trying to perform lightweight migration instead. Is there something I need to do to keep lightweight migration around, but use my mapping model when there's one available?

You have to change the way your PSC is being initialized. Try setting both NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption and NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption to YES. See http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/cocoa/conceptual/CoreData/Articles/cdUsingPersistentStores.html
