# KSPSetUpOnBlocks
Sets up the preconditioner for each block in the block Jacobi, block Gauss-Seidel, and overlapping Schwarz methods. 
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscksp.h" 
#include "petscmat.h" 
PetscErrorCode KSPSetUpOnBlocks(KSP ksp)
```
Collective on ksp


## Input Parameter

- ***ksp -*** the `KSP` context



## Notes
`KSPSetUpOnBlocks()` is a routine that the user can optionally call for
more precise profiling (via -log_view) of the setup phase for these
block preconditioners.  If the user does not call `KSPSetUpOnBlocks()`,
it will automatically be called from within `KSPSolve()`.

Calling `KSPSetUpOnBlocks()` is the same as calling `PCSetUpOnBlocks()`
on the PC context within the `KSP` context.
