Buddies,
I created a job with five SSIS packages in SQL Server Agent->Jobs folder. If I run the job it is working fine. And I wanted to change a package level variable called User::tempFilePath by job properties -> Steps -> package say( bulk copy) -> Set Values tab:
Property Path as \Package.Variables[User::tempFilePath].Properties[Value] and Value as D:\temp\. Then if I select Command line tab, I can see the following arguments [p]/FILE "C:\Reports\SSIS\SSIS_01\BulkCopy.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /SET "\Package.Variables[User::tempFilePath].Properties[Value]";"D:\temp\" /REPORTING E[/p]
If I run the job now, I'm getting the following error:[p]The argument "\Package.Variables[User::tempFilePath].Properties[Value];D:\temp" /REPORTING E " has mismatched quotes. The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed.[/p]
Can anybody suggest me how to resolve this issue..?

Maybe double up the \ so it is D:\\temp

I had the same issue:

"The argument "\Package.Variables[ArchivePath].Value;D:\Teamcorp\APLExtractArchive" ... has mismatched quotes. The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."

The value set was "D:\Teamcorp\APLExtractArchive\" and the error message had the ending "\" missing from the value. My guess is that the script interpreted \" as an escape character resulting in a missing quote.

So I changed the value "D:\Teamcorp\APLExtractArchive\" to "D:\Teamcorp\APLExtractArchive\\" only doubling the ending backslash and that solved the problem.

Thanks for posting the solution Elliott!

Thanks for the help! I thought maybe you had to double up all backslashes but just the last one was the key.

Cheers, you're still saving people 😀

Was convinced it was spaces in a variable used for a folder path breaking stuff, but I just needed the \\ on the end.

Thanks, this thread from 7 years ago helped me out today. I have a package that has some project parameters. It ran great from visual studio... it even ran great when I deployed it to our server and set it up in a SQL job. The job/package failed when I went in to the job and overrode the project parameters (I needed to put in new values to run the package in our QA environment). What finally worked was using a double \\ at the end of the project parameter where I was setting the file source, and destination paths.

And still helping after all that time. Same issue as above: package configuration is overridden in Agent Job where a slash is part of a file path. Setting the parameters correctly in the base package fixes the issue as well as adding a double slash at the end of the file path in the Agent Job.

Thanks for taking the time to share your solutions!
