Red Hat Developer Tools software repository not available
After reading the blog post Red Hat Releases New Development Tools on the Red Hat Developer portal, I wanted to try them out.
As advised in Red Hat Development Suite I executed sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms
to add the Developer Tools channel.
Unfortunately I received this message : Error: 'rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID.
So I executed sudo subscription-manager repos --list to check the valid repositories. Surprisingly that repository was not listed.
I executed sudo subscription-manager refresh and then sudo subscription-manager repos --list again ... no change ...
No rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms listed. I am running RHEL Server 7.4 Developer Edition and in the mentioned blog post is written :
"As always, it’s available at no-cost."
What's going wrong here ... can someone please tell me if I'm missing something and what I have to do or whether this is possibly a bug ?
Thanks :)

Hi Mike,
I was able to add rhscl:
[root@localhost rpm-gpg]# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
Repository 'rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms' is enabled for this system.
[root@localhost rpm-gpg]#
rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms seems to be problematic here doesn't exist when I do subscription-manager repos -list even after a refresh. This is what I have so far:

Hi Dennis,
Should not be an issue: I use a KVM guest and sync the repository via RH Satellite 6.2.12
I will run a reposync tonight and see if I get errors.
Regards,
Jan Gerrit
P.S. It took me some weeks to get the repository available in the Satellite Manifest, with help of Red Hat support.

I may be missing a step somewhere but I've tried Christian's solution as described here to no avail.
I'm using RHEL Server 7.4 as VM running in VMware and with a free subscription of Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Suite I got earlier in the year but got around to using it only recently. I've been thinking of getting a paid subscription "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Workstation, Professional" but figured to try out my existing free subscription first. Do you know if I would get better result switching to a paid subscription? Is my current setup preventing me from getting access to the tools I need? What do you all use?
My goal is just to get started with development using containers and the best way I know is via the time-honored tradition of doing a hello world as described in this article but I can't seem to get past the first step :(

Try to unregister and reregister per my buddy, Robert Terzi. ^^^^^ (This step took care of a similar issue I had this week.)
I'm trying to get the devtools repository for Workstation and tried all the above steps, but I can't get it to enable the devtools repository. It doesn't even show up when I do subscription-manager repos --list. All I want to do is install Clang. :(
