Additional Information

The Make Feature Layer tool must be changed because of the implementation differences in how selections are handled between 10.x version and ArcGIS Pro to achieve the same basic results. That change excludes writing only the selected features to the output.

Workaround

  1. Select the records, right-click the layer in the Contents pane, and click Selection > Make Layer from Selected Features.
  2. Use memory workspace for the output with the Feature Class to Feature Class geoprocessing tool for avoiding creating the output in the geodatabase. Refer to ArcGIS Pro: Write geoprocessing output to memory for more information.
