  • Your other subscriptions should be fine.  I was able to create a new push subscription in my test environment and synchronize both push and pull subscribers just fine afterward.

  • You won't be able to change your existing subscriptions from pull to push but you should have no problems creating new push subscriptions.

    Hope this helps.

  • There will be no effect, each subscription is independent of each other.

  • Technically , there will be no problem ....But Since it will be a push subscription there will be an addiional overhead on Distributor ( which is not in the case of pull subscription ) .This might cause latency in case your distributor is already loaded .I would suggest deply this in test\staging first and see in case the Distributor latency increases to unacceptable level ..if not then you are fine to go ...
