Error description

• When executing the REST API  "issueConfirmed" Command against a
  SPOKE Server, a message json object(s) is returned in the
  results and needs to be removed in order to obtain a rational
  output.
  For example, this is the output returned when executing the REST
  API Command against a SPOKE Server:
  
  [
    [
      {'msg': {}},
      {'msg': {}},
      {'hdr': {}, 'items': {}},
      {'msg': {}},
      {'msg': {}},
      {'msg': {}}
    ]
  ]
  
  
  Python example: interesting Information = result[0][2]['items']
  Third element of the nestled list
  
  
  
  The same command executed against HUB works correctly.
  As for above example, the same  REST API Command against HUB
  Server will return:
  
  [
    [
      {'hdr':{}, 'items': {}}
    ]
  ]
  
  Python example: interesting Information = result[0][0]['items']
  First element on the nestled list
