I'm trying to create a relationship class with Python using a GlobalID.

When I use Python it gives me the error:

Failed to execute. Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000800: The value is not a member of GLOBALID. Failed to execute (CreateRelationshipClass).

When I try to use the Create Relationship Class tool through the Toolbox, I get the same error. If I select GlobalID as the primary key, it will ONLY let me select a GlobalID as the foreign key. It will not let me select a GUID of my choice.

But when I'm in ArcCatalog and right click the Dataset and go to New > Relationship Class...

It works!

What's wrong here?

One workaround that seemed to help in some cases for me was using time.sleep(10) between the creation of GlobalIDs/fields and calling CreateRelationshipClass_management. It only helped some of the time, though.

The best answer I found was using 2to3 to port my code into the arcpy packaged with arcgispro (on python3.4), and it is now successfully producing both one_to_many and many_to_many relationships based on GlobalID and parent GUID reference fields, and the GDB it produces works perfectly in Arcmap.
