overflow of the data type while processing dimension

While trying to process a cube the error below came up while processing one of the dimensions.

The database is an ORACLE database running on a UNIX platform even though that piece of information would not be neccesary in solving this riddle.

I believe it has to do with date format differences on both database platforms. Is there anyone out there who has been able to resolve such a problem or point me out in the right direction.

See below for an excerpt of the log.

Please another question is there some sort of literature addressing SSAS and ORACLE database working in tandem.

I need Help.......

What is the data type of the column for the 'ENTRY DATE' attribute in Oracle compared with the data type that is setup for the Attribute in the dimension? It sounds like the attribute is using a smaller data type.
