# DAGlobalToLocalBegin

Maps values from the global vector to the local patch; the ghost points are included. Must be followed by DAGlobalToLocalEnd() to complete the exchange.

### Synopsis

    #include "petscda.h"
    PetscErrorCode PETSCDM_DLLEXPORT DAGlobalToLocalBegin(DA da,Vec g,InsertMode mode,Vec l)

Collective on DA

### Input Parameters

| da | - the distributed array context
| g | - the global vector
| mode | - one of INSERT_VALUES or ADD_VALUES

### Output Parameter

l -the local values

### Notes

The global and local vectors used here need not be the same as those obtained from DACreateGlobalVector() and DACreateLocalVector(), BUT they must have the same parallel data layout; they could, for example, be obtained with VecDuplicate() from the DA originating vectors.

### Keywords

distributed array, global to local, begin
