OMBPlus, Discoverer Bridge, CWM, and Design Views allow for advanced integration features between Oracle Warehouse Builder and other Oracle products. Discoverer Bridge allows for limited integration between Discoverer and OWB but only in one direction from OWB to Discoverer. CWM and Design Views provide metadata about OWB objects. OMBPlus uses TCL scripts to programmatically perform tasks in OWB like changing field lengths across multiple tables, and could be used by organizations for automated builds or auditing against data warehouse standards.
