Put a tarp on it.

I left a wall of OSB in the open for a year & the OSB was still good when I started to cover it....however, on the roof, just roll some 30lb black felt over it.

I'd put sythetic underlayment over it. You use it instead of 30# felt. Its easy to walk on, and supposed to be good for 6 months without shingles. Its more expensive than felt paper but doesn't tear off in the wind.
Edit: I was thinking of OSB on the roof. The underlayment isn't meant for walls as far as I know.
