It doesn't look as if there is a geodatabase in your output file path, based on the error you are receiving.

Hi Sadanandachar,

Can you post the script?

Hi below is my script created for custom tool

import arcpy
import os
from arcpy import env
env.workspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
outgdb = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
fclist = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
for fc in fclist:
    fcdesc = arcpy.Describe(fc)
    arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(fc, os.path.join(outgdb, fcdesc.basename))

Should the N in baseName be capitalized?

arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(fc, os.path.join(outgdb, fcdesc.baseName))

Does that make a difference?

If that is not the case, maybe you could put in a print statement after the user input (the GetParameterAsText) to capture what was inputted to see if it is the right type of input.

You should keep these links handy

What is ArcPy?—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

ArcInfo Workstation Item properties—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

Describe object properties—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

and particularly

env—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop with the overwriteOutput option. Sometime a 'can't create... means that it already exists and can't be overwriten since env.overwriteOutput = True needs to be set

Oooh, that's a good one. Forgot about:

env.overwriteOutput = True

That may be the issue here.

We are coming full circle on a duplicate problem in your other thread

Custom tool error

see the comments there or provide the information in this thread.

From what I can see Benjamin hit the nail on the head. Workspaces can be folders or geodatabases.

Your second tool parameter should be an existing geodatabase, that is "E:\ArcPy\ResultFeatures\Test1.gdb" (instead of a folder: "E:\ArcPy\ResultFeatures").

You can set the parameter Filter property to exclude folders - this will prevent you from providing a folder name for the second argument by mistake. Also -- make sure this parameter is of type Input to make sure you provide the path to an existing geodatabase.

maybe you could put in a print statement

The GP messages stream helpfully includes the arguments provided to the tool. The OP left that helpful bit of text off, unfortunately.
