my ssis package is called via a job.
i.e.: EXEC msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = @JobName
Is it possible to add an extra parameter here, i.e. pathname such as:
EXEC msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = @JobName, @PathName
where @pathname is used inside the ssis package?
Thanks

nope. the pathname should be configured inside the job step.
You cant pass additional parameters like this to sp_start_job

If you want to interactively pass pathname the best way is to call the package programmatically using DTExec utility and pass @PathName as a variable to it. If you want t incorporate this inside job you can create a configuration table to store path name and other properties and use a select query inside job to retrieve these values and assign it to variable to be passed to DTexec utility
