# KSPSetDMActive
Indicates the `DM` should be used to generate the linear system matrix and right hand side vector 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPSetDMActive(KSP ksp, PetscBool flg)
```
Logically Collective on ksp


## Input Parameters

- ***ksp -*** the preconditioner context
- ***flg -*** use the `DM`



## Note
By default `KSPSetDM()` sets the `DM` as active, call `KSPSetDMActive`(ksp,`PETSC_FALSE`); after `KSPSetDM`(ksp,dm) to not have the `KSP` object use the `DM` to generate the matrices.
