System temporality slowness on Db2wh

System temporal tables are part of the type two of slow changing dimensions, this assists in tracking changes that happens on the data by preserving historical accuracy.

These tables have two tables, The BASE table and the HISTORY table. When records get deleted or updated the records will go from the BASE table to the HISTORY table.

The issue with system temporality on Db2wh is that for big updates and deletes, they run way longer because they have to move multiple records from BASE to HISTORY. IBM once gave us a solution to create a TABLESPACE in one partition and create the HISTORY table on that TABLESPACE. We tested this solution some time last year and the performance improved drastically on deletes and updates, but the only concern is around extracting the data from the HISTORY table since all of the data will now be sitting on one partition instead of 24 partitions, so that solution solves one problem and causes another issue.

Can we have a fix that can:

have the history table defined on multiple members with expected performance and so that SELECTs on history tale won't be impacted.
