Hi Carl,

these job-events are typically triggered by using the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE.

Here you can find some more details:
https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Scheduling+background+job+by+triggering+an+event

CALL FUNCTION 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
  EXPORTING
    eventid                      = 'Z_EVENT'
 EXCEPTIONS
   BAD_EVENTID                  = 1
   EVENTID_DOES_NOT_EXIST       = 2
   EVENTID_MISSING              = 3
   RAISE_FAILED                 = 4
   OTHERS                       = 5.

Maybe you can find the calling routine for your specific event via the where-used-list of this function module?

If this related to a Z-event, the ABAP-Source-Scan could also help to find the name of the event somewhere in the ABAP-coding. For this you could use the report RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN via SE38.

Kind regards
Jens
