Historical data in TDMaps tables can take up too much space. To clean up old data and regain space, periodically run TruncateHistorySP. For example:

call tdmaps.truncatehistorysp(date '2016-01-01', :numdeletedrows);

Result:

*** Procedure has been executed.
*** Warning:  3212: The stored procedure returned one or more result sets.
 
NumDeletedRows
--------------
          35
 
*** ResultSet# 1 : 3 rows returned by "TDMAPS.TRUNCATEHISTORYSP".
