push publication for heterogeneous subscriber

Hi,
I have added an oracle linked server as a subscriber, when I create a push publication, I can not see the oracle linked server as an enabled subscriber under the enabled subscriber list in the 'Push Publication' wizard. Is this something I need to worry o
r this is just how linked Oracle server works?
Thanks.
Once you have created your linked server to Oracle you have to Tools | Replicaiton | Configure Distributors, Publishers, Susbcribers, select the Subscribers tab, click on new, select ole db data source, locate your Oracle Linked Server, enter the account
info, click on it.
When you create your publication make sure you enable it for hetergeneous susbcribers.

Publication not enabled to use an independent agent

I've created a snapshot replication between 2 databases on 2 different
servers to run once a day. The snapshot has worked but when the
distribution job runs it fails within a few seconds. I've looked at the
job history and the following error message is recorded:
Publication 'EmailDB' is not enabled to use an independent agent. The
step failed.
I think this may be because I've defined the publication so that
anonymous pull subscriptions are not allowed. If not does anyone know
what the problem could be. If it is how do I alter the publication so
that they are allowed - the option doesn't appear to be changeable with
the publication properties window in EM.
TIA

drop your subscriptions and try this
sp_changepublication 'pubs4','independent_agent','true'
