# PCSetUpOnBlocks
Sets up the preconditioner for each block in the block Jacobi, block Gauss-Seidel, and overlapping Schwarz methods. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode PCSetUpOnBlocks(PC pc)
```
Collective


## Input Parameter

- ***pc -*** the preconditioner context





## Note
For nested preconditioners such as `PCBJACOBI` `PCSetUp()` is not called on each sub-`KSP` when `PCSetUp()` is
called on the outer `PC`, this routine ensures it is called.


## See Also
 `PC`, `PCSetUp()`, `PCCreate()`, `PCApply()`, `PCDestroy()`, `PCSetUp()`
