Hi

As you must be aware that all Messages that enter XI are converted to an XML format. So, if an IDOC is sent from an R3 system , it is converted into an XML message.

IDOC tunelling is an option in which , you can avoid this conversion of IDOC into an XML format.

Say, you need to do an IDOC to IDOC scenario where XI will jus be used for monitoring.

In these cases, by using IDOC tunelling, we can avoid the conversion of IDOC in to XML and therby imrove perfromance.
