# DMStagMigrateVec
transfer a vector associated with a DMStag to a vector associated with a compatible DMStag 
## Synopsis
```
PetscErrorCode DMStagMigrateVec(DM dm, Vec vec, DM dmTo, Vec vecTo)
```
Collective


## Input Parameters

- ***dm -*** the source DMStag object
- ***vec -*** the source vector, compatible with `dm`
- ***dmTo -*** the compatible destination DMStag object
- ***vecTo -*** the destination vector, compatible with `dmTo`



## Notes
Extra dof are ignored, and unfilled dof are zeroed.
Currently only implemented to migrate global vectors to global vectors.
For the defintion of compatibility of `DM`s, see `DMGetCompatibility()`.
