Error Code 308

ScottSeay

I run the Copy Features tool to get a new feature class that is added to my File Geodatabase.  This feature class is the result of a join with a Table also in the Geodatabase.  The new feature works in ArGIS Pro but not in the older ArcCatalog and ArcMap.  Then I try to export the resulting feature to another folder as a shape file and get two error codes:  308 and 210.  

I have used this same process for years in ArcCatalog and ArcMap through 10.8 with no errors ever.  I do this process to share the resulting feature class with colleagues.

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 3.3

Error below:

There are many steps that have to be taken now. You can export all of your feature layers that you want to save as a shapefile to a new geodatabase and loop through them using arcpy:

import arcpy
# Set the workspace and paths
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\\Users\\your_geodatabase_path_here.gdb"
fc_list = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()

for template_fc in fc_list:
    new_fc=f'{name}_32b'
    
    # Create a new feature class based on the template
    arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(out_path=arcpy.env.workspace, out_name=new_fc, template=template_fc, oid_type='32_BIT')
    
    # Get the list of fields in the feature class
    fields = arcpy.ListFields(new_fc)
    
    # Iterate through the fields and change the data type for Big Integer fields
    for field in fields:
        if field.type == "BigInteger":
            arcpy.AlterField_management(new_fc, field.name, field_type="Double")
    
    
    # append features to new feature class
    arcpy.management.Append(template_fc, new_fc, schema_type='NO_TEST')
    
    # save shapefile
    output_folder="C:\\Users\\output_filepath_here"
    arcpy.conversion.FeatureClassToShapefile(new_fc, output_folder)
