The Run CSV Generation is a sub task that is optional and will only run when configured in the analysis.  It can be configured to run either before or after an analysis. 

It is triggered to run when the user adds the specific action for this in either the 'Tools before analysis' or the 'Tools after analysis' sections in the Content Enrichment tab of the application configuration.

It fills the CAST System views . Please refer CAST System Views - CSV

A separate log will be generated for the action of the Run CSV Generation.

Please see the below documentation and example screenshots for more information on this step and an example of where it is located in the CAST Management Studio.
