When working with larger datasets, it's important to optimize your Informatica PowerCenter workflow to handle the increased data volume efficiently.

Here are some steps you can take to address the issue and fix the error:

• Increase Buffer Size: Adjust the buffer size for the joiner transformation to accommodate the larger dataset. You can increase the buffer size in the joiner transformation properties to improve performance. Experiment with different buffer sizes to find the optimal setting for your specific scenario.
• Enable Sorted Input: Ensure that the input ports for the joiner transformation are sorted. You mentioned that you have enabled the sorted port in the joiner, but you're still getting an error. Make sure that the input ports of the joiner transformation are explicitly marked as sorted by selecting the "Sorted Input" option in the joiner transformation properties.
• Verify Sorter Transformation: Double-check the configuration of the sorter transformation before the joiner. Ensure that the ports you're using for sorting in the sorter transformation match the corresponding ports in the other sorter transformation. The sort order and data types should also be consistent.
• Memory Considerations: Large datasets require sufficient memory resources. Check if your system has enough memory allocated for PowerCenter to process the larger dataset. Adjust the memory settings in the PowerCenter Integration Service configuration accordingly to avoid any memory-related issues.
• Partitioning and Pushdown Optimization: If possible, consider partitioning the join operation to distribute the data processing across multiple nodes or partitions. This can improve performance by utilizing parallel processing. Additionally, evaluate the possibility of leveraging database-specific optimizations, such as pushdown optimization, to offload the join operation to the database engine.
• Performance Monitoring: Monitor the performance of the join operation using PowerCenter's performance monitoring tools. Analyze the session logs and statistics to identify any bottlenecks or areas for improvement. Look for any warnings or errors that can provide insights into the specific issues encountered during the join operation.
  
  

It's worth noting that the optimal solution may vary depending on your specific environment, data characteristics, and hardware resources
