I created a merge replication for a publisher (e.g. Pubisher1). Then I want to add a new aticle. Therefore, beside many other line of code (see "More Detail on above") within a db trigger I have line:
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = 'Publisher1', @optname = 'merge publish', @value = 'true';
But I keep getting this error:
"The procedure 'sp_replicationdboption' cannot be executed within a transaction.
Msg 14013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_refreshsubscriptions, Line 60
This database is not enabled for publication."
I am not sure what is going on?

More Detail on above:
What I am trying to do is to add an article (e.g. MyTable) to my publication (e.g. Pub1). I tried many different combination of options. My latest version of code is as follow:
________________________________________________________________________
exec sp_changemergepublication 'Pub1',@property='allow_anonymous',@value='true';
exec sp_changemergepublication 'Pub1', @property='allow_subscriber_initiated_snapshot', @value='true';
exec sp_changemergepublication 'Pub1', @property='allow_push', @value='true', @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1, @force_reinit_subscription = 1;
---source of errors is these two lines (as stated above):
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = 'Publisher1', @optname = 'merge publish', @value = 'false';
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = 'Publisher1', @optname = 'merge publish', @value = 'true';
EXEC sp_addmergearticle @publication = 'Pub1', @article = MyTable, @source_object = MyTable, @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1;
EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn @publication = 'Pub1', @article = MyTable, @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1, @force_reinit_subscription = 1;
exec sp_link_publication @publisher = '7-PC' ,@publisher_db = 'Publisher1' , @publication = 'Pub1', @security_mode = 2, @login = 'sa' , @password = '*';
exec sp_refreshsubscriptions 'Pub1';
exec sp_startpublication_snapshot 'Pub1'

Can anyone help me on that? If you need even more details please let me know.
Thanks in advance
