Hi Babu,
createProductCategoryAndAddToProdCatalog event appends the word
"__PROMOTIONS" to catalog id in order to create the promotion category
Id. In my opinion this should be changed to a shorter string.
Feel free to create a jira issue. In the mean time, you can continue
testing by using a shorter catalog Id
