Start transaction SWETYPV and you will see the linkage between event and workflow.

In transaction SWUD you can simulate events to see whether the workflow starts without any errors.

In transaction SWELS you can start an event trace to see which events have been raised. Later on you can review this log using transaction SWEL.

As an alternative you could start the workflow directly - without an event. From external systems this could be done via SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW. From within the SAP system use SWW_WI_START_SIMPLE or SWW_WI_START.
