RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork_management returns ERROR 000584

I'm trying to run the following code

import os import arcpy CONFOLDER = os.path.abspath(r"C:\...\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcCatalog") NETWORK_EQUIPMENT = os.path.join(CONFOLDER, 'test_db_at_test-1.sde\\NetworkEquipment\\Network_Equipment') # Process: Remove Feature Class From Geometric Network desc = arcpy.Describe(NETWORK_EQUIPMENT) arcpy.RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork_management(NETWORK_EQUIPMENT, "RfConn") # select count(*) from RfConn -- this returns 0, so I believe it's empty.

But get this error.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "\remove_empty_featureclass_from_geometricnetwork.py", line 10, in <module> arcpy.RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork_management(NETWORK_EQUIPMENT, "RfConn") File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 5096, in RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork raise e ExecuteError: Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000584: Implementation of this Tool's Validate is invalid. ERROR 000584: Implementation of this Tool's Validate is invalid. ERROR 000584: Implementation of this Tool's Validate is invalid. Failed to execute (RemoveEmptyFeatureClassFromGeometricNetwork).

I'm using ArcGIS 10.2.2, ArcSDE10 on SQL Server and the geometric network consists of versioned data.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

This error typically only occurs in a custom tool. Contact the tool's developer for more assistance.

I guess that would be you

But this link says

it isn't available(?)
