Oracle SSIS Runs In DTExecUI, But Not In 32-bit DTExec

I've worked for awhile to get an SSIS package that connects to Oracle to succesfully run via DTExecUI from a 64 bit SQL Server. I completely understand that DTExecUI runs in 32 bit mode, but I need to initiate the package from a stored proc so I need to be able to utilize the 32 bit DTExec from either a xp_cmdshell call or from an sp_start_job (thanks to MatthewRouche for the suggestion). Both Ora92 and 10g were installed on the SQL Server.

Here's what I've tried unssuccessfully

1. SQL Job - Just calling the package from an SSIS step. I wouldn't expect this to run because it is 64 bit DTExec.
2. SQL Job - A job that calls the 32 bit version of dtexec from cmdexec. Here is 2 examples I have tried, the first is because I came across several postings saying that there is a problem with the "(x86)" for the Oracle driver.


\server_nameE$ProgramFilesLegacyMicrosoftSQLServerX8690DTSBinnDTExec.exe /DTS "PackageName" /SERVER "SERVER_NAME" /SET Package.Variables[PLT].Value;"8H" /CONFIGFILE "\SERVERConfigFile.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW

\server_nameE$Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server (x86)90DTSBinnDTExec.exe /DTS "PackageName" /SERVER "SERVER_NAME" /SET Package.Variables[PLT].Value;"8H" /CONFIGFILE "\SERVERConfigFile.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW

Both of these give me the error below:


System.Exception: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.


I'm assuming that it is running in 32 bit mode because this was at the beginning of the job history log:

Executed as user: "XXX". ....3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved

3. I then tried to call the package from a batch file on a file server that had integration services installed on. Got the same error as above.

I'm obviously missing something if I can get it to work in DTExecUI but not DTExec 32-bit.

Any ideas? Below are some postings I have already visited several times:

One paragraph that stands out on this posting is:

Find the location of the application that is generating the error. Check the path to this location and see if it contains any parenthesis. If so, you must relocate the application to a directory without any parenthesis in the path.
This didn€™t work for me, unless I was doing it wrong.
