You can increase Joiner transformation performance with the sorted input option. You use sorted input when the data is sorted.
When you configure the Joiner transformation to use sorted data, the Data Integration Service increases performance by minimizing disk input and output. You see the greatest performance increase when you work with large data sets.
To configure a mapping to use sorted data, you establish and maintain a sort order in the mapping so the Data Integration Service can use the sorted data when it processes the Joiner transformation. Complete the following steps to configure the mapping:
Configure the sort order of the data you want to join.
Add transformations that maintain the order of the sorted data.
Configure the Joiner transformation to use sorted data and configure the join condition to use the sort origin ports. The sort origin represents the source of the sorted data.
