Claim One:
1. A method of organizing a transmission of repository data, the method comprising: receiving, in a computer system, a request to transmit data from a data repository to a data recipient, wherein the data is transmitted by concurrently executing a plurality of batch jobs that each identify a data amount to be transmitted to the data recipient, wherein the data amount is identified by a programming call by checking size of a database table to determine a number of knowledge entities are in the data amount to be transferred, the knowledge entities being at least two different document types selected from a group comprising: transaction data, accounting records, business documents, sales orders, service orders, contact records, web pages and other types of documents; assigning control parameters individually to each of the batch jobs, the control parameters specifying an amount of data to be transferred by the corresponding batch job including a number of knowledge entities; and upon detecting during transmission that a performance parameter of the computer system does not meet a predefined standard, the performance parameter being affected by the execution of the batch jobs, automatically changing the data amount handled by at least one of the batch jobs by changing the control parameter assigned to the at least one of the batch jobs so that the performance parameter of the computer system meets the predefined standard, wherein the transmission is selected from a group comprising: an initial transfer of the data from the data repository, a periodic transfer of the data from the data repository, and combinations thereof; wherein the performance parameter is selected from a group comprising: processing times per knowledge entity for the batch jobs, how much of the data is processed per unit of time, an average processing time for a complete retrieval, a request-response time for another application in the computer system, and combinations thereof.
