Why getting error "Can't ConstructUnion on a point" with Create Replica tool?

Hello,

I am using the Create Replica tool in ArcGIS Pro, version 3.0.3, and I got error 002829 "Can't ConstructUnion on a point." Why?? this does not make any sense to me, because I am creating a replica, not doing anything with a union. Any ideas?

I am trying to create a replica from one Feature Dataset to another Feature Dataset in the same database. That might seem weird; it's for testing. The prod environment has replicas from one database to another, but the dev environment only has one database, so I'm trying to approximate prod in dev the best I can.

The replica consists of only one feature class, a point feature class.

Parameters: one way, parent to child, simple model

I'm using what I think is the right database service account to run Pro to create the replica.

Thank you to anyone who has ideas!

@AllenDailey1 - there is a not terribly helpful technical article here that has a solution "Do not use point features as input for this operation." What geometry type is your point feature class? Point, PointZ, Multipoint? I would copy/paste the feature class outside of the feature dataset and try to create the replica again. What is the result?

Thank you, Robert!

Another person tried creating the replica, and it worked. It's a mystery! I'm all set now.

Excellent! I guess we can attribute it to a glitch in the matrix then...
