Issue/Introduction
Due to the extreme thread history volume, the Sysview for DB2 history files are only providing a few minutes of data before they wrap.
Is there information on how to calculate larger allocations for the history files to accommodate at least twenty-four hours worth of history?

Additional Information
In this specific case where the files wrapped within minutes, recommendation was made to initially increase the history files
to contain a couple of hours, and then run the calculation as described in the above link.
From there, a more finite adjustment could be made.
