I am trying to pull alarm properties using the browseTagsSimple Funciton.  
I keep getting the Java Heap Space out of memory error.  
Here is the code below.

Is there a way to stop the error?

Allow Ignition to use more memory. If this error is in the gateway, update ignition.conf and restart the gateway. If in the designer, adjust Configuration =\> Gateway Settings =\> Settings =\> Web-Launch Settings =\> Designer Memory. In the client, adjust the memory settings for the affected project.
