Additional Information
The Append tool prevents operations where the target dataset and the input dataset are the same. However, the behavior observed is a known limitation when 'MakeXYEventLayer' is run on a given feature class and used as input to the Append tool, and the target dataset is the same feature class that is referenced by the event layer.Workaround
Instead of setting the Append tool's Input Datasets parameter to an event layer, set that parameter to a feature class copy of the event layer.
