How to use a arc gis online map service as input to the Intersect tool?

I have an .mxd that has a wetlands layer in it that comes from arc gis online. I want to intesect this with some features in a file geodatabase from within Arc Map. I can make a connection to arc gis online in arc catalog and see the wetlands map service.

But when I try to use the Intersect tool, the wetlands map service isn't listed.

Is it possible to use a map service as the input to the Intersect tool?

The map service needs to be recreated as a feature service in order to be used in the geoprocess. This allows the service to be query able.

Thanks. Do you know if a WMS layer can be used as the input to the Intersect tool in 10.2.1? I know in 9.2, it says here : ArcGIS Desktop Help 9.2 - Querying features from a WMS service layer

However, not all WMS services will support identifying. In addition, no WMS

services will support these querying operations:

Using the Find dialog box
Selecting features
Performing geoprocessing

For the additional functionality you need to turn on the WFS service as well, then you should be able to perform the other functions.
