Better to create a new file in yum.repos.d with the content to enable the repo

cat<<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat-rhui-rhel-server-extras.repo
[rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras]
...
EOF

Or even better

sudo yum repolist disabled
sudo yum-config-manager --enable "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7 Extra(RPMs)"

For me, the actual name was slightly different. Thanks for this hint 👍

yum-config-manager --enable "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Extras from RHUI (RPMs)"
