Since we dont know your version and architecture, the answer will be general:
In order to be able to reduce file systems easily (online that is ..) you would have to have onlineJFS installed, and reducing a filesystem so you can increase size of another can be done only if both filesystems are in the same volume group.

Onlie JFS is not there.

If you are usre its different VG ( and not lvol) then its bad luck...
You only possicility is if the volume group which contains /oracle/TST/oraarch has enough room (by reducing if needed the latter FS...) to accept a filesystem from the other ( holding /oracle/TST/sapdata1), in which case you create the new lvol and filesystem and copy/restore the content then remove the older (after umounting and testing throughly...) so you can use the freed space, its not a difficult task only it will ask for some downtime for the applications... It would be the same sort of job when you change disk systems ( I had a few storage migrations a few years ago...)
