Remarks

The operation is executed with progress information.

When a document is opened using a call to this method, the document will not be auto configured. This means that:

  • no default visual page is added
  • no default visualization is created
  • the user preferences (for example whether or not to show the cover page, the page visualization mode, the filter panel mode, etc.) are not be applied
  • the filter panel is not configured, that is, no filters are added.
All of these operations must be performed explicitly through calls to AutoConfigure , ApplyUserPreferences , and AutoConfigure , respectively.

This method is not supported in the Spotfire Web Player. Calling it there will cause a NotSupportedException to be thrown.
