Speed up bqy open time

Question

Fairly new at Hyperion and wanted to speed up the open time of my bqy. I would like to save my bqy (after processing) without the result set (using the save query results with document) and thought I might be able to filter the pivot or report itself without the result set. Something like the right clicking on the pivot and selecting "focus on items", but using a dashboard to pass the item to be filtered. I'm using Hyperion 9.3 and opening the bqy using interactive reporting web client.
Is this doable? No luck with something like ActiveDocument.Sections["My Pivot"].TopLabels["My Col Nm"].AddFilterValue("[Division]", bqOperatorEqual)

False Limits are limits set that will ensure that you have 0 (zero) rows returned in your BQY. So when you process the BQY all the data is gone but the objects still exist. Then when you open the file it is empty and the pivot is empty. You will then have to process the file for it to refresh the data.
There are other ways to improve the performance of a bqy when it is opening within the Interactive Web Client.
<ul><li>Save the File Compressed before importing into WorkSpace.</li>
<li>Save without results</li>
<li>If you want the file to have data in it Look at the query and see if you can return less data - Summarized data for what you are trying to do.</li>
<li>look at how you are utilizing Computed Items, filters and sorts within the Results</li>
<li>Look at how many sections you have off of your results section and what their purpose</li>
</ul>
without seeing the file or the business need it is supporting it is really hard to say what else you can do to speed the file up.
Hope this is helpful.
