Open your job. Go to the Job view and open the Extra Tab.
Here you can check implicit context load and use database table for it.
The table must have minimum 2 columns (key, value) both character types (length 255).
You can add more columns like job_name and in the mentioned setting you find also the possibility to set the Query condition. Lets say, you have added a column job_name: you would write in the condition: "job_name='" + jobName + "'"
Keep in mind in SQL you have to quote strings.
