IT37292: REST API CALL OUTPUT DISPLAYS DUPLICATE ENTRIES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The responses on some REST API queries in IBM Spectrum Protect
  Plus can display duplicates for keys.
  
  Example:
  "/api/storage/2000/management/pool" returns:
  "resourceType": "pool",
  "resourceType": "StoragePool",
  "compression": true,
  "compressionRatio": "xxxx",
  The "resourceType" is seen twice in the REST API response, which
  is unexpected.
  
  
  The same problem is seen for "/api/hypervisor/1001/vm" that
  shows 2 entries for key "id".
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.x
  
  Additional Keywords: SPP, SPPlus, API, REST, TS005742016
