The measurement model focuses on the relationship between latent constructs and measured variables, while the structural model emphasizes the magnitude and nature of the relationships between the constructs themselves. This requires a shift in focus and may involve changes in variable classification, but it does not necessarily change the exogenous/endogenous status of constructs or the correlation of error terms.
