Graph view enhancements
Not planned
Currently only immediately connected nodes are shown in the graph view.
It would be super-nice to have a couple of other views:
- Show all predecessor nodes from the current node (including the source system)
- Show all successor nodes from the current node (including the target system)
This would make it a lot easier to understand the data flows.
Customizing the Graph view by expanding and collapsing nodes/connections would also be a very useful addition.

The idea is that the first thing to get data into Sesam, then get data into globals and then finally out of Sesam. These are designed to be three distinct steps. Read more about it here: https://docs.sesam.io/data-modelling.html#data-handling-philosophy
There is also a feature called Flows in the Management Studio that you can use to look at how data flows into globals and out of globals.
It is not entirely clear what the use-case you're asking for is, so feel free to describe this a bit more. We have currently no plan for changing the scope of the graph view.Comment actions -
I will try to clarify what additions we would like in the Graph view. The purpose for these additions is to get a better understanding of the complete flows for more efficient debugging and for potential inclusion in project documentation.
There are three main features we would like to focus on for now:
1. Show a complete flow from sources(s) to target(s) based on metadata tags filter
2. Further refine the view by expanding/collapsing relevant nodes
3. Show a hint on non-selected nodes if they contain hops
See attached image for more details.
