arcpy.ExtractData_production does not work in Python GUI?

ThomasColson

>>> arcpy.ExtractData_production("'C:\\Temp\\Python\\GRSM_20140326075058.gdb\\Boundaries_And_AOIs\\grsm_bndry_polygon'","C:\\Temp\\Python\\GRSM_20140326075333.gdb","DO_NOT_REUSE","NO_FILTER_BY_GEOMETRY","INTERSECTS","")

 
<Result 'C:\\Temp\\Python\\GRSM_20140326075333.gdb'>

Works fine in the Arc Map Python window.

Per the ESRI help for Extract Data (Production Mapping) one could conclude that

>>> import arcpy
>>> arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Foundation")
u'CheckedOut'
>>> arcpy.ExtractData_production("C:/Temp/Python/GRSM_20140326075058.gdb/Boundaries_And_AOIs/grsm_bndry_polygon","C:/Temp/Python/GRSM_20140326075333.gdb","DO_NOT_REUSE","NO_FILTER_BY_GEOMETRY","INTERSECTS","")

Would work as well in Python Shell.

Nope.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#26>", line 1, in <module>
    arcpy.ExtractData_production("C:/Temp/Python/GRSM_20140326075058.gdb/Boundaries_And_AOIs/grsm_bndry_polygon","C:/Temp/Python/GRSM_20140326075333.gdb","DO_NOT_REUSE","NO_FILTER_BY_GEOMETRY","INTERSECTS","")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ExtractData_production'

Tried numerous variations of back, forward, double-slash as per http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//002z0000000r000000

None worked.

So what special trick is required to get arcpy.ExtractData_production to work in Python Shell?

I'm able to verify the path is valid in the following (sorry for the formatting Geonet toolbars don't work in IE):

import arcpy, sys, traceback
from arcpy import env
import time, os
from subprocess import call
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Foundation")
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Network")

OutFolder = "C:\\GDB\\OUTPUT\\"
OutName = "TEST_"+time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")+".gdb"
GDB = OutFolder+"\\"+OutName

if os.path.exists("C:\\GDB\\TEST.gdb"):
    arcpy.Delete_management("C:\\GDB\\TEST.gdb")
else:
    print ("Nothing to Delete")
   
arcpy.env.configKeyword = "DEFAULTS"
arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management(OutFolder, OutName)

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\\GDB\\RESTON DB.sde"

arcpy.ExtractData_production("TEST.DBO.Boundaries_And_AOIs",GDB,"DO_NOT_REUSE","","","")
arcpy.ExtractData_production("TEST.DBO.Air_Photo_Footprints",GDB,"DO_NOT_REUSE","","","")
arcpy.ExtractData_production("TEST.DBO.Elevation",GDB,"DO_NOT_REUSE","","","")
arcpy.ExtractData_production("TEST.DBO.GridsAndGrats",GDB,"DO_NOT_REUSE","","","")

arcpy.Compact_management(GDB)

if os.path.exists("C:\\GDB\\TEST.gdb"):
    arcpy.Delete_management("C:\\GDB\\TEST.gdb")
else:
    print ("Nothing to Delete")

arcpy.Copy_management(GDB, "C:\\GDB\\TEST.gdb", "")
