Use the workaround or upgrade to a newer version of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise that fixes the issue. For issues existing in older versions of ArcGIS Enterprise, the issue can be resolved unless it is crucial to the organization and requested through the hotfix process.Workaround
There are two workarounds:
1. For SelectLayerByLocation, don not use the tool directly, make a script tool with the following code (You have to include copyfeatures):
import arcpy
import os
layer1= arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
layer2= arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
outfc= arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
arcpy.management.SelectLayerByLocation(layer1, "INTERSECT", layer2, "", "NEW_SELECTION")
arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(layer1, outfc)
2. Upgrade ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise to 2.4 and 10.7 respectively
