sql server replication : Agent is suspect

We have transactional replication running from SQL Server 2000 to Oracl
8.1.7.3. The log reader and distribution jobs are setup to run every
minutes. The following error is being encountered intermittently:

The agent is suspect. No response within last 30 minutes.

Our profile is as follows:

BcpBatchSize 200,000
CommitBatchSize 50,000
CommitBatchThreshold 50,000
HistoryVerboselevel 1
KeepAliveMessageInterval 30
LoginTimeOut 15
MaxBcpThreads 1
MaxDeliveredTransactions 0
PollingInterval 10
QueryTimeOut 900
SkipErrors
TransactionsPerHistory 100

When the agent goes suspect it hangs the distribution job until w
cancel/stop the job. I have changed the Inactivity Threshold from 1
to 30 minutes but still get the error above. I also checked the lo
reader agent for the same time period of that the agent went suspec
but there were no transactions identified. I also have th
distribution jobs setup to notify us when they fail but the job is no
failing but continuously running.

Is there something I am missing

Can you double click the agent in the right pane of EM and
see any error messages that led up the non-response?

what this means is that the process which is running on the subscriber is
taking longer than the 10 minutes Microsoft allotted for it. Sort of similar
to the feeling you get when you don't hear from you girlfriend/boyfriend for
a long time, you start to wonder.

bump up your querytimeout value to something high and restart your process.
This could be a normal occurence or possibly symptomatic of something large.

Open the "refresh rate and settings" by rightclicking on replication
monitor. Increase the inactivity thresold.
