To change the module settings (the value of the metadata-complete attribute of the DD), you must create an application in which the metadata-complete attribute is changed and then re-import the application into the J2EE server.

When the metadata-complete attribute is changed and if an attempt is made to replace the application using the redeploy functionality (the cjreplaceapp command specifying the -replaceDD option), an error occurs and the replace processing is cancelled.
