# DMLocalToGlobalBegin
begins updating global vectors from local vectors 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdm.h"          
#include "petscdmlabel.h"     
#include "petscds.h"     
PetscErrorCode DMLocalToGlobalBegin(DM dm, Vec l, InsertMode mode, Vec g)
```
Neighbor-wise Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the `DM` object
- ***l -*** the local vector
- ***mode -*** if `INSERT_VALUES` then no parallel communication is used, if `ADD_VALUES` then all ghost points from the same base point accumulate into that base point.
- ***g -*** the global vector





## Notes
In the `ADD_VALUES` case you normally would zero the receiving vector before beginning this operation.

`INSERT_VALUES is` not supported for `DMDA`, in that case simply compute the values directly into a global vector instead of a local one.

Use `DMLocalToGlobalEnd()` to complete the communication process.

`DMLocalToGlobal()` is a short form of  `DMLocalToGlobalBegin()` and  `DMLocalToGlobalEnd()`

`DMLocalToGlobalHookAdd()` may be used to provide additional operations that are performed during the update process.
